No, I meant any level.  Using the example from before:

IDL> deepstop, 1
% Stop encountered:  DEEPSTOP            2 /dev/tty
IDL> print, routine_names('deus_ex_machina', 1, store=1)
% ROUTINE_NAMES: Variable is undefined: deus_ex_machina.
% Execution halted at:  DEEPSTOP            2 /dev/tty
%                       DEEPSTOP            3 /dev/tty
%                       $MAIN$                 

Am I doing something wrong here?

Craig
