Note: This is a work in progress and many formatting issues have been fixed. Read more about the project on the home page.

debugger

The debugger property returns or sets the name of the current HyperTalk debugger. The default value of this property is ScriptEditor, the name of HyperCard’s built-in editor and debugger. (The built-in editor and debugger are integrated.)

Because HyperCard’s debugger is actually an [g:external command] (XCMD), you can replace it with your own or third-party debuggers.

If HyperCard can’t find a debugger with the name provided, it uses its built-in debugger.
