Tips
• A quick way to restore a debug session is to use the Recent Sessions list on the File menu.
This restores all the session data that was saved in the file you select.
• When you restore a session, the available session data will be checked automatically.
• Restoring the current directory or program settings will cause your program to reload.
You may want to uncheck these if you do not need to restore this information.
• If you save a session to a file that already has session data in it, the types of session data
you chose to save previously will be checked by default.
