The Palm Reporter is a standalone trace utility that can be used to display real-time trace output from the Palm OS Emulator (POSE).[1] The Reporter is especially important since you cannot execute Visual Basic code step by step, or set breakpoints, after compiling the code and installing it on the Palm. To use the Reporter, you simply run it and POSE at the same time. With the Reporter installed, you may configure POSE to send trace output to a file or to the Reporter application.
[1] The Palm Reporter can be downloaded freely from the same site where POSE is obtained. We do not cover the installation and use of the Reporter in this chapter.
AppForge's Debug module includes a Print method, which sends its output to the Immediate window in Visual Basic and to the Reporter on POSE. Example 10-2 contains the code from Example 10-1, modified to use this method.
