I don't understand what the command line interface does?
How do I check the contents of an array?
Why does the variable watcher only work 1/3 of the time?
Is there a tutorial on using this thing? Thanks.

the variable watcher never works here, I gave up trying to use it, in fact I don`t use any of the built debug features cos they don`t work, they should have been the most powerful and usefull part of the IDE, but actualy they suck, I would stick to breakpoints and printing your variables from the code, works for me.

Edit: I just found out on a thread in bug reports that if you use a breakpoint somewhere near the top of your code (left click and select insert breakpoint) and then start in debug mode then it all works as you would expect, just tried this and it works (so far)
