Unfortunatelly that manual is not clear for me. FWIW, I use M-x debug-on-entry instead of edebug. But I know that many people prefer edebug. If you use M-x debug-on-entry, this is what you need to know: In the debugger: `d' to step into an expression (dig in), `c' to completely eval an expression, `e' to eval something in context (anything), `q' to quit the debugger. Pretty simple. To stop debugging a function or all functions: M-x cancel-debug-on-entry (RET to cancel all functions). HTH.
