Breakpoint in opensees?

1. I am wondering whether there is a breakpoint in opensees like in Matlab such that the program would stop at the point?

2. If I want to output some constant numbers and texts to a file instead of "puts" them on the screen, what should I do? I want to track the parameters once I try different runs.

Thank you very much.

don't understand question 1.

2. here is an example of what i have:

set outFilename ${ProcessedDataDir}/FrameInfo.dat
set outFileID [open $outFilename w]
puts $outFileID "############################"
puts $outFileID "############################"
puts $outFileID "# FRAME INFO "
puts $outFileID "#"
puts $outFileID "# Model: $thisModelLabel"

close $outFileID

Silvia:
Thanks. Sometimes I don't want the program to run the dynamic part, and wish it stops after some basic parameter calculations. Maybe it is not important.
The answer to the second question is very useful. I tried and it worked out. Thank you.

you can put the stop in the tcl script, with an if statement....
