When the execution flow hit the breakpoint at the start of the function, then I hit 'c' in order to continue execution. Then the execution stops in what is unexpected for me: "Symbol's function definition is void: caddr". Indeed, the 'caddr function is used in the body of the 'message-send function. And indeed (describe-function 'caddr) results in an error for me. In "normal" execution (i.e. no debuger involved) the interruption on 'caddr does not occur. Why is that ? If I manually define my own 'caddr function (in *scratch* for instance), the "instrumented" execution does not complain, of course. But I do not want to have to provide a primitive function definition. Does the same error occurs for you? What did I miss? Do I need to import an extra module somewhere before running the "instrumented" mode? Some initilisation that I miss? Sorry if the question feels stupid. I'm quite new and experimenting stuff, to learn. Regards Yves
