Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Program Step (Use with Thread Command)

When used with the Thread command
~threadP
the Program Step (P) command executes a program step for the
specified thread.
If you specify a particular thread, the debugger executes one
source line or instruction of the thread. All other threads are
temporarily frozen.
This version of the Thread command does not change the current
thread. Therefore, if you specify a thread other than the current
thread, you do not see immediate results. However, the
subsequent behavior of the current thread may be affected.
The command ~*P is a special case. It is legal only in Source
mode, and causes the debugger to step to the next source line
while allowing all other threads to run (except for frozen
threads). Only the current thread executes in the debugger
display.
