Thanks, Paul!  Tried but no luck:

    177404 113000 002010 000005
    $DK


    RSTS V06C-03 FRITZTS (DK0)


    Option:

    Disk is being cleaned - wait …


    You currently have: JOB MAX = 10, SWAP MAX = 28K.

    You currently have crash dump enabled.

    DD-MMM-YY? 03-JAN-89
    12:00 PM? 6:46 PM

(...system starts looping error behavior; type ^P...)

    BE125652
    _55230/004537
    _55230;B
    _P

(...system resumes looping error behavior without hitting breakpoint; sadness)

Any additional or different recommended breakpoints to try?  Or did I miss setting this up (I’m new to ODT.)

	thanks much,
