RE: Help Needed with jdb

Hi Paul,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.  I just tested a
bit and it seems that I slightly mistated the
scenario.  My system does, in fact, behave like yours
at the commencement of debugging: the debug window is
on the bottom and the source windows is on the top. 
The rest of the problem though is as I descrbe it.  If
I issue a 'step' command from the debug window which
causes a new source file to be opened, then the new
source file replaces the debug window which is on the
bottom rather than the current source window. 
Essentially I end up in an endless loop of issuing
'C-x o, C-x b' everytime control passes to a different
source file.
