True, they are separate.  I guess my answer to that question would be 
laziness :)  It's easier to just quickly enter a debugger statement, 
save off my file and let autotest rerun the test for me than to 
open/switch to another terminal window and run the test manually.  Not 
to mention I would need to either kill the autotest process before 
entering my debugger statement, or after debugging, go back to the 
autotest window that is now hanging from my debugger statement and 
continue it (without seeing the debugging context).
