I have been working a bit lately on making the debugger act more like  
Matlab in terms of the command line functionality and was wondering if  
you would give a quick synopsis of what this patch does.  I looked  
through all the changes, but don't know enough about how the parser,  
tree represenation of a file,  and debugger interact to fully  
understand it.
