A redneck's breakpoint manager

Even debugging 200 line sources, we can end up wiht loose breakpoints.  The scroll bars work fine, and scrolling up the source text makes your stop lines disappear.  So, simple enough, make the skip button, punch it and the source skips down to the next break pointer line The skip call back sets the scroll bar, to center the text line on the window.  Then, the text insert cursor is set to the breaked line. The user can immediately hit the del break button, then keep skipping.

So, I minimize the number of command windows, or dialog windows, actually the only independent window is the file dialog, out of my hands.
