@s.mcknight~ I haven't tried this with Visual Studio (VS) 2013 yet (6/26 is the release date for the preview [//Build]) but using a Virtual Machine (VM) with VS 2012/2010 and SmallBasic installed I was able to use the "Graduate" button to convert Small Basic programs to Visual Basic programs and then use Visual Studio's IDE to debug said program. Note: Some classes/modules may have to be re-written.
