Steve,

That's it! I do run a "clear all, close all, clc" before I run the
first script that calls the later functions. I commented that line
out and the debugger now stops in the later functions. Tricky! I'll
have to watch that because the breakpoints after the "clear all" in
the script currently viewed are actualy not cleared.

Thanks for solving a nagging issue!
