Well this may be some real stupid easy questions but i was kinda hoping you could clear up some doubts i had..
In softice when i press F10 and F8 they both seem to have the same function to allow me to scroll down the screen..however when i trace to a call function and press F8, it seems to trace into the call...why is this?? what is the primary differnce with F8 and F10??
Another thing..F10 is the trace down function right?
is there a 'trace-up' function key so to speak??

Alright, and Hello...

let's start with a good old -> RTFM

Open up the SoftIce command reference and read the pages:

P and T

This will tell you the difference between F8 (single stepping),F10 (stepping over) and F12 (step until return).

Hi JC,
You have told him the answer

ps: PLEASE RTFM before you post

I know.. I have a Heart of Gold

"I think u prolly figured out what the difference is between F8 and F10, but just to clear things up: With F10 u trace over CALLs and with F8 u trace into CALLs."

DOH! I really should learn to read all of it and not just the question. It seems u were totally right

Grtz
