such as the orientation of the Debugger window.
To set general options:

the following choices:
- Horizontal. Displays the toolbars vertically on the left of the window, the information
panes side-by-side in the middle, and the property sheet on the right.
- Vertical. Displays the toolbars horizontally across the top of the
window, the information panes below the toolbar, and the property
sheet at the bottom.
- Alternate. Same as Vertical.
- Run Multisession.
Stores information about the choices you set in the
Run Multisession dialog box. True is mapped to the Start New Session button

you choose Debug
Finish (Shift-F5).
In this dialog
box, you can choose which sessions you want to finish.
