Do you mean the codeview debugger available on MS-DOS with Microsoft-C?
If so, than I would not call that a full-screen debugger because:
#1: It requires two physical screens to do the debugging, one-to-run
and one-to-debug.
#2: It does not allow me to do screen-things on my debuggin screen,
only line-things.
#3: If I have two screens attached to two different machines, I can't
use it.

The quesion for me is
1) "Can the debugger use a full-screen (or part) " to debug
a program (which may or may not been a screen program)?
and not
2) "Can the debugger be used to debug a screen-program?"
Certainly, under question "1)" codeview is not a full-screen
debugger.
Also many debbuggers (including GDB) are full-screen debuggers
under "2)", depending on how one connects them to the
program being debugged. ...Paul
