[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Windows Debugging Kernel

I've been working with the MS Win3 SDK for a couple of months now and I have 
read a few things here in this newsgroup regarding the Windows Debugging Kernel
that comes as part of the SDK.

I take it that this is supposed to be a more robust (for debugging purposes)
version of all the modules that make up Win3, but I pretty much screwed up my
system the first time I tried to switch over to the debugging kernel.  There
is (in my opinion) very little information on how to use the debugging kernel.

I thought I was supposed to enter the command "N2D" at the DOS prompt to
switch from the normal kernel to the debugging kernel.  However, when I did
this, I was unable to get windows to load until I reinstalled the regular
kernel again.

I am using a 386 in 386 enhanced mode with 4MB of ram and the default config
for the HIMEM stuff that windows set up when I installed it.

Is there something that I am missing here?  Should I reinstall something for
the SDK or regular windows to set things straight?  Do I need to be in a
particular directory for N2D to work properly?

Once I have the debugging kernel working, what is different?  Is there anything
else I have to do to take full advantage of its capabilities?
