   2. Right-click the task, and then select Toggle Breakpoint.
   
3. Set another breakpoint on the pricing task.
4. Start the debugging session with the Debug-start-Julian launch configuration.
5. Resume execution until execution stops in the eligibility task.
6. In the Variables view, click rental=carrental.RentalAgreement to see the current value:

   Approved Rental Agreement for Julian Bayles (May 20, 1970) of a MidSize car from Mar 17, 2010 at Concord (New Hampshire) to Mar 25, 2010 (8 days) at Concord (New Hampshire).
