        Present at today's meeting: Ayers, Johnsson, Karlton, Koalkin, Satterthwaite, and Wallace.
        The following is a summary of suggestions discussed at today's meeting:

           *      Progress has been made by Smokey and Phil towards creating a model of the
                  debugger/WindEx using the Tools environment. They expect to have a workable model by
                  mid-week so we can do some experiments.

           *      For the time being, type-in goes to the window containing the cursor (as in the Tools
                  Environment).

           *      We all agreed that variables should be interpreted in the stack window in the context of
                  whatever is "bulleted" (Le., marked). We will have to do some experiments to see whether echoing of
                  the input characters will be done in a subwindow of the stack window or in an interpreter window.
                  However, the Debug.Typescript equivalent window will be capable of doing "contextless"
                  interpreting (Le., arithmetic).

           *      To change the context: select one of the context keywordS and:
                     * push down the menu button. A menu of the choices will appear. Letting up the
                        button over one of the choices (or outside the menu to indicate no change) will make that
                         the context. We still need to look into how we will display a large list of information (as in 50
                           modules in a configuration) and indent to show the structure (for nested configurations).
                      *    OR type in the new context terminated by CR. Smokey can provide a mechanism for this
                           sort of "field fill-in".

           *      There is no "THE current context" (as refered to in the previous memo); however, each window
                  has a context that is used for symbol-lookup (and marked in some way to indicate tilis).

           *      The initial window configuration will contain (at least): one stack window (initialized with the
                  information associated with the process that is currently running), one source file window, and a
                  debugger communication window (Le.. Debug.Answers. or a Debug.Typescript equivalent).

           *      We need a mechanism for telling alllhe windows (a notification) that "an bets are off' (i.e.,
                  a Ilew program has been loaded. some files have been deleted) so that it knows when its cache
                  information might be invalid.

           *      Smokey pointed out that the PNR nolificr mechanism of the Tools environment can
                  implement the same flow of control scheme as the current debugger (with respect to unwinding
                  the stack on proceed. procedure calls, etc.),
