I posted a version of this to the list earlier. I haven't used it yet; it'll 
be interesting to see if anyone finds it useful (besides PhiHo and Henrik, of 
course <g>).

Some more things that should be pretty easy to add:

* run to cursor: step until PC is at (or just past?) where you put your cursor

* reset PC to cursor (backwards or forwards?). Could skip code in this way.

Any thoughts on these?

I'd really like to have a copy of Terry Raymond's _Smalltalk Professional 
Debug Package_ (http://www.craftedsmalltalk.com) for Squeak, but I doubt that 
Terry sees much of a market here. It works great with VisualWorks, though.
