lambdamoo has a builtin parser and debugger. This is accessible with 
telnet (@edit, tedious) or with the Program Editor in Xpress. It tells 
you the line number of any error if the verb body is syntactically 
wrong, and even a suggestion what might be the reason. There is no 
semantical preview check, however, like some Java or ECMAscript 
debuggers have - but semantic errors will be displayed to you at 
runtime, with error type, line number, verb stack.

What else do you want? Online help is available from within enCore 
Xpress, which points to Pavel's Manual. Admittedly not the most 
versatile help, but most (db-programming) basic issues are covered.
