Edebug Views
------------

   These Edebug commands let you view aspects of the buffer and window
status as they were before entry to Edebug.  The outside window
configuration is the collection of windows and contents that were in
effect outside of Edebug.

`v'
     Temporarily view the outside window configuration
     (`edebug-view-outside').

`p'
     Temporarily display the outside current buffer with point at its
     outside position (`edebug-bounce-point').  With a prefix argument
     N, pause for N seconds instead.

`w'
     Move point back to the current stop point in the source code buffer
     (`edebug-where').

     If you use this command in a different window displaying the same
     buffer, that window will be used instead to display the current
     definition in the future.

`W'
     Toggle whether Edebug saves and restores the outside window
     configuration (`edebug-toggle-save-windows').

     With a prefix argument, `W' only toggles saving and restoring of
     the selected window.  To specify a window that is not displaying
     the source code buffer, you must use `C-x X W' from the global
     keymap.

   You can view the outside window configuration with `v' or just
bounce to the point in the current buffer with `p', even if it is not
normally displayed.  After moving point, you may wish to jump back to
the stop point with `w' from a source code buffer.

   Each time you use `W' to turn saving _off_, Edebug forgets the saved
outside window configuration--so that even if you turn saving back
_on_, the current window configuration remains unchanged when you next
exit Edebug (by continuing the program).  However, the automatic
redisplay of `*edebug*' and `*edebug-trace*' may conflict with the
buffers you wish to see unless you have enough windows open.
