What does it do?

My guess is that it prevents you compiling a debug version, but why would you want to?

Pretty sure it turns off debug for a nominated function, e.g. 
Function MyOftenCalledFunctionThatWouldBeReallySlowInDebugMode() NoDebug

So if you have a routine that you call a lot, and just *know* it works, you can force no debugging for it, even in debug mode. Handy for testing.

Hmmm, yes it does appear to do that, although I've seen it at the top of a module as well, so it looks like it can be used for an entire file too.

However, this code, when compiled in debugmode, will still do a debugstop just not inside the function, should it?

Graphics 640,480,0,0

While Not KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE)
	Cls
	
		DrawBox()
		DrawCircle()
		
	Flip
Wend
End

Function DrawBox() nodebug
	DebugStop
	DrawRect(0,0,100,100)
End Function


Function DrawCircle()
	
	DrawOval(200,200,100,100)
End Function

It certainly doesn't seem right, assuming our interpretation is correct!

Well if you add DebugStop to the second function, it does stop there so it appears to work for individual functions.
