Well, the call stack is shown in the debugger, so maybe. But that isn't
how I would do it.

You need to set a breakpoint on your edit code, try your EDIT, assuming
it is even getting to the edit code, then single step tlll you find the
fault. If it isn't getting to your edit code at all, you need to put
your breakpoint on the BASIC dispatcher (interpreter).
