I am looking for are any tools that can be used to help me figure out what  
various sentences are doing. A tool which parsed a sentence down to its  
constituent parts and labelled them (verb,adverb, etc) would be very nice.  
In other words, I would like to hand a name to a function and have as a  
result a printout (tree) of the "parts of speech" and in turn each part  
would be broken down where applicable.

I would also like a tool which traced each line of a function and  
(optionally) changes in the values of other given names. In short, I would  
like some of the capabilites which APL has for tracing functions.
