   OK; the "tricks" of restart and F12 worked.
   BUT.
   Absolutely zero instructions or help.
   I would like to step thru the code and then see what the result is.
   I noticed that one can have two windows: the site being debugged, and 
the control window; making it handy to do exactly what i would like to do.
   Firebug site is not exactly helpful to say the least; but for free, 
what can i expect?
