Ahhh.. Well, my friend, you are in for a treat.

There are several ways to open Insight's debug window:

1) set GDBTK_DEBUG=2 in environment before running Insight to have the
   debug window open immediately
2) set GDBTK_DEBUG=1 to have it appear in the View menu
3) hit Ctrl-F11 in SrcWin to open it
4) enter "tk ManagedWin::open DebugWin" in Console window to open it

The "debug" interface is really deprecated. Use "dbug" instead:

proc dbug {LEVEL {msg {}}}

LEVEL = I (information -- shows up in green in DebugWin)
        W (warning -- shows up in yellow in DebugWin)
        E (error -- shows up in red in DbugWin)

DebugWin can also resource tcl files for you. Pretty handy!
