22.1 The Lisp Debugger

The Lisp debugger provides the ability to suspend evaluation of a form. While evaluation is suspended (a state that is commonly known as a break), you may examine the run time stack, examine the values of local or global variables, or change those values.

Since a break is a recursive edit, all the usual editing facilities of SXEmacs are available; you can even run programs that will enter the debugger recursively. See Recursive Editing.
