Hello.

I've followed the instructions in the Debugger_Setup wiki (correctly,
I think) and can use breakpoints OK.  I can't seem to use "Run to
Cursor" though.  I'm trying to convert an old Delphi3 program, so the
second line of my main unit (there is only one, and only one form) is
"{$mode Delphi}{$H+}"

If I put my cursor on the first statement of my Form.Create procedure
and right-click "Run to Cursor", my program simply runs without
stopping at the cursor position.

Any ideas about what I may be overlooking in the debugger setup would
be appreciated

I have the same issue, with the message:

"No symbol table is loaded.  Use the \"file\" command."

"Run to cursor" is misleading. It is "step to cursor within current
procedure"

See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21958#c59370


In 1.0.4 and up, run to cursor is disabled, if the app has not yet
been started.

Thank you very much for the prompt explanation Martin!  I understand
how it works now -- and think I need to go read the docs on GDB
