Hi,
Is there any standard AHK tool to debug the code. I am looking something that has ability to add “break point”, “watch window” to see what’s going on while program is running…. To see every steps inside the loop…. You know, I am new at AHK and try to learn something but without these tools it’s hard to understand the execution steps and what variable has what value and what kind of value….

If you have any idea, will you please let me know where I can find those handy dandy tools?

Thank you for your time.

You can use the commands ListVars and Pause in your script. It's accurately described in the manual among some other helpful commands; search for "Debugging a Script".
Additionally you can watch the last proceeded lines with a click on Open in the context menu of your script's icon in the systray.

We often use MsgBox or ToolTip to look at specific values, or OutputDebug command (need a third party viewer) or even FileAppend...

Note that Chris (AutoHotkey's programmer) plans to add debugging facilities (as you described) to the language, but they aren't here yet...
