Trace into Functions

     CodeView allows two types of single-stepping through a program:
     tracing into functions or ◄stepping over functions►.
 
     When you trace into a function, program execution steps through
     the source lines or assembly instructions of the function. Local
     variables for that function appear in the ◄Local window►, and
     watch variables and registers are updated after each step through
     the function.
 
     To trace into a function:
 
        ■ Press F8
 
        ■ Click <F8=Trace> in the status line with the left mouse
          button
       OR
        ■ Enter the ◄Trace (T)► command in the ◄command window►
                                    -♦-
