You can use conditional compilation to differentiate between live and dev as below (PRP is our live). So $$$debug(x) either shows the value in x on the screen in test or does nothing in live. Slight disadvantage is that what you test is not EXACTLY identical to what you run in live - but that's going to be the case anyway if you are "adding differences afterwards".

The reference was to "localhost" which might or might not work.

One difficulty when converting old "dotted" code to use the new curly brackets is that New applies to the current dot level - same as if the dot level was a routine - but not the scope of the curly brackets containing the New.
