To begin with, you need a compilation listing. Debugging is through the 
OPM debugger, by hexadecimal instruction number; all variables can be 
accessed through DSPPGMVAR unless their names start with periods.

When setting breakpoints, use the instruction number (I don't have a 
compilation listing in front of me, but I believe it's the second 
column, the one that shows an ascending sequence of hexadecimal 
numbers). For example, if the instruction of interest is at instruction 
number 002D, then you would set your breakpoint at '/002D' (including 
the slash and the single quotes, to tell the debugger that you want an 
instruction number rather than a HLL statement number).
