“Execute to here” means to start or resume execution until a certain line is reached, pausing at that line. You could do this by setting a breakpoint on the target line and executing (or resuming execution). In fact, the “execute to here” facility is a shortcut for doing exactly that.

To use “execute to here”:

• Select within the line that you want to execute to, and choose Script > Execute To Here. Alternatively, Shift-click in the empty diamond of the line that you want to execute to (the target line). A temporary breakpoint will be set there, and execution will start or resume.

If a breakpoint is encountered before the target line is reached, we will pause at that breakpoint.

A variant of “execute to here” is “trace to here”, which is the same except that we trace instead of executing at normal speed. To use “trace to here”:

• Choose Script > Trace to here. Alternatively, Option-Shift-click in the empty diamond of the target line.
