I love the debug probe, that's one of the best features of WingIDE. But 
it's convenient for short one-liners only. What I would like to be able 
to do is
1) Analyse a bug in the debug probe.
2) Fix the bug in my code, i.e. usually in one or two classes contained 
in my script.
3) Resubmit the fixed code to the interpreter.
4) Re-run the test code.

All that without having to start over in a new debug process.

If my understanding of the debug probe is correct, all that I would 
need is a command that sends the selection for evaluation to the debug 
probe. Copy/paste won't do the trick due to the different handling of 
indented blocks in interactive mode.

Could this perhaps be done with scripting?

Konrad.
