[DUG] Find the currently executing source line

[Steve Peacocke]

OK, there are two Stack windows.

1. The CPU Stack contains a list of two columns of 4 hex numbers, and
a column of for characters. Not a lot to make sense in there.

2. The Call stack shows a DLL and the kernal32.dll. Steping though
those, it changes. For example, I now have two QUARTZ.dll files and
the kernal32.dll

Anyone make sense of that?
