In WORD you have a Menu line with the commands. If you searched for print you went to the first command on the left. In there you can find print.
Is there any map ^which Shows me where I could find the command DEBUG. If I did not know where this command was is there any way how I could find the way to "DEBUG" by softkeys?

It's quite logical: if you want to debug a program you go the Program menu (Shift Program) and there you have the Debug soft key.
Another way to enter the Debug mode is to insert a DEBUG; instruction which will work as a breakpoint.

Wasn't logical to me - I'm still in the dark from reading this thread as to which calculator is being referred to. Is this the Prime??
Thanks,

Well, I assumed it's about the Prime, but you're right: the question may be about another calculator...

I am referring to the HP50g.
sorry, I forgot to mention it.

DEBUG command can be found in PRG.
If you have softkeys enabled:
Wite LeftShift PRG, then NXT twice, select RUN. you will see softkeys DBUG, SST etc.
To debug a program (assuming RPN mode):
Put the program name in quotes on the stack (put any required arguments on the stack before it), then in PRG menu select RUN then DBUG and repeatedly press SST to single step through the program.
Best regards.
