You're very right, indeed its something within my project file proj2.gpr that 
was disallowing me from debugging the main program. I tried deleting all the 
project files and creating a new one with the same cpp files, and this time 
debugging works...
However, I still don't know what was wrong with my old project file though...

Anyway, since debugging is working now, can anyone tell me how I can inspect 
individual/multiple variables within RHIDE when I'm stepping though my 
program? The Borland C IDE has an "Inspect" field in the "Debug" menu, but 
apparently RHIDE doesn't. Can RHIDE inspect variables? Can it also inspect 
what a pointer is pointing to if the variable is a pointer?
Thanks again!

ciao!
