I wrote a program and I want to use the debugger on it . I have the debugger console output below and the program file attached .

The digitalmars site is pretty vague . Is there a tute on this anywhere?

Program exited normally.
(gdb) awatch balance
No symbol "balance" in current context.
(gdb) run
