Are there any Debugger commands?

I'm using a mac, I have Terminal I'm using to telnet to the ip of the roku box, after I type the telnet once I'm no longer able to type it to test again. I have to close and re-open. Are there any commands I can use once I've telnet'd the server? For example can I show what's in certain variables to test what of my xml is being loaded etc?

See section 8 of the DeveloperGuide.pdf file. (short version, hit ctrl-c to break the application and enter the debugger, then type help once you're in the debugger).

in mac that would be command+c and it doesn't work. It beeps at me, and cntl-c just puts ^C on the line.

It's control-c on the Mac. It won't work unless the side loaded channel is running at the time.

And to exit the telnet session, hit control-] and type quit at the telnet prompt.
