Last week I gave DEC a call about this problem.  This morning I got a call from a DEC employee who said that they have recieved many complaints about the missing dbx "call" function. The problem has been fixed and the "call" function is going to be available with the next release.  Until then, we can all use the "print" command discoverd by Lavagno.
