Hi Hermant,

I liked Phrogz's suggestion about using set_trace_func/, which I'm
going to study.  But right now I think Needle will get me going faster.
 So I'm going to work on that first.  Thank you for taking the time to
post a message about it.

I'm going to be applying this in a Rails application,  so I've got to
figure out where the top level of the generated app is,  but I think
I'll be able to figure it out.

Best wishes,
Richard
