Not having a .MAP file may make debugging your original source code more
difficult. The DEBUGGING INFORMATION screen showing the name of the
file to be loaded into the debugger window is displayed. Pressing any key from this
screen brings up the source file debugger.
The following operations are available from inside the debugger:
