 Script debugger won't show included files

I've got boxes running Win95 and IE5, and I'm trying to
step thru some html with the 'ie401dbg.exe' 1.0.
The html files not only have script on the page themselves,
but I also pull in 'included' vbs files.
(In spite of the name, it is supposed to handle IE4 AND IE5,
and yes, this is the 1.0 that has been re-released, although
the behavior I'm seeing happens on the 'old' 1.0 as well).

When I invoke the de{*filter*} (break at next statement) I can
get into the html page and step thru script lines on that,
but as soon as I call the external scripts, the de{*filter*} seems
to step thru them internally but never shows me the .vbs
lines it's going through. As the de{*filter*} marches thru
the code, it highlights portions of some html pages
that have nothing to do with the .vbs file. As you can imagine,
this makes for a very non-productive debug session. (Stepping
through IE4 code and included script files worked great last
time we worked on this stuff.)

So, am I including external script files in a style in which
the de{*filter*} now can't find the right file to display? Is there
a bug in the de{*filter*} (-gasp-) ?!  Has anyone else seen this
behavior and found a fix? And what's all this I hear about
some Y2K thing? What's up with THAT? (JUST KIDDING!)
