Is it possible that you enabled the debugger after evaluating your code? With the debugger enabled, try reevaluating your code. There should be a (Debug) indication in the "In[n]:=" cell label for the cell containing your code and breakpoint. As you observed, breakpoints are expression oriented. What you select before setting a breakpoint with the F9 key is significant. You may want to try selecting a different subexpression before setting the breakpoint. Chris Hill Wolfram Research
