Well, presuming that what Richard wants to do is, in truth, execute instructions up until a certain point, then resume elsewhere (perhaps skipping over a block of code, or some such), the easiest way is to view the source as assembly instructions (or mixed), bring up your registers, and change CS:IP to wherever you want to resume from (usually just changing IP is necessary). Of course, this is potentially dangerous; if you set IP to something weird, you're going to start executing garbage, and almost certainly will hang your machine. I've used this to skip over subroutine calls and such, though... hope it helps. -- "Bless me, Father; I ate a lizard."
