MSP430 Debug Object, How to use?

I'm using CrossWorks for MSP430.  The Reference Manual describes a debug script object:

http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/msp430/documentation/index.htm?http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/msp430/documentation/ide_script_class_Debug.htm

My question is how to actually use this object.  I tried the script console, but it doesn't seem to recognize the debug object.

>
>WScript.Echo( "echo this string please" );
echo this string please
>
>
>Debug.echo( "echo this string please" );
Not supported
undefined:1
>

My ultimate goal is to write an assert or trap function that will break in the debugger.  I was hoping to use the debug object in a Target - Debug Begin Script to automatically create a breakpoint within the assert/trap function.

Any suggestions on how to use the debug object or another way to programatically force a break?

Thanks

  Ok, I did find the bit in the reference manual about software breakpoints here:

  http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/msp430/documentation/index.htm?http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/msp430/documentation/ide_script_class_Debug.htm

  So that question is answered.  But I would still like to know how to get the debug object to work.  Is it supported?
