MS Debugger use

I downloaded the MS script debugger but I cannot figure out how to get it to
work with VBS scripts I have written.

I read the MS reference material but there is no step by step description of
how the debugger works. I can load a vbs file into the debugger but the "run"
selection is greyed out.

I made the changes to IE mentioned by MS but that does not seem to help.

What do I need to do?

Yes, the ms script debugger you downloaded ain't so easy to use.

This question has been asked-and-answered about ten times over
the years by mikHar (a.k.a. Michael Harris, a most valuable player)
in this ng. Search the archives and you will find them.

Incidentally, it is generally accepted that the "microsoft script
editor" (mse.exe) is _FAR_ superior for script debugging than the
"original" ms script debugger. The mse.exe utility comes with
various versions of msOffice, ofc2k for sure (and later(?)). If
you happen to have mse.exe installed, then I strongly recommend
that you use mse.exe for debugging scripts, instead of the ms
script debugger.

O.K., so how do you use that? Glad you asked. mikHar has
explained that several times as well, which you can also find
in the archives.

cheers, jw
