5.1.3 Disabling Breakpoints
---------------------------

Rather than deleting a breakpoint or watchpoint, you might prefer to
"disable" it.  This makes the breakpoint inoperative as if it had been
deleted, but remembers the information on the breakpoint so that you
can "enable" it again later.(1)

   To disable a breakpoint, press _mouse button 3_ on the breakpoint
symbol and select the `Disable Breakpoint' item from the breakpoint
popup menu.  To enable it again, select `Enable Breakpoint'.

   As an alternative, you can select the breakpoint and click on
`Disable' or `Enable' in the Breakpoint editor (invoked through `Source
=> Breakpoints'.

   Disabled breakpoints are indicated by a grey stop sign, or `_N_',
where N is the breakpoint number.

   The `Disable Breakpoint' item is also accessible via the `Clear'
button.  Just press and hold _mouse button 1_ on the button to get a
popup menu.
