 These notes detail the breakpoint debugger which is being incorportated into GHCi. Note that there was/is a previous prototype debugger, and we share some of its code (specifically the term printer) (see: [wiki:GhciDebugger]).

+== User's Manual ==
+
+=== Setting break points ===
+
+You can set a breakpoint in three ways:
+ 1. By line number.
+ 2. By line and column number.
+ 3. By function name (not implemented yet).
+
+In each case you can specify which module to set the breakpoint in, however, if the module name is omitted then the debugger will choose a default module (XXX give a better explanation of what module is chosen by default).
+
+The syntax for setting breakpoints by line number is:
+
+{{{
+   :break MyModuleName 12
+}}}
+
+This will activate the breakpoint which corresponds to the leftmost outermost expression which begins and ends on line 12 in the module called 'MyModuleName'.
