In the past I have written a few simple programs which help
with tracing SQR program execution.  I don't have source code,
but you might be able to whip something up yourself pretty
quickly.

The general approach is to write an SQR program which reads a
program and looks for procedure declarations or other "interesting"
statements.  The program generates a new version of the source
file which has "DISPLAY" statements or #DEBUG statements added.
I then run the generated program and watch the execution flow
go by.

A slightly enhanced version of the above idea is to have the program
insert a call to a routine which allows more interactive control
of the execution.  This approach is left as an exercise for the reader.
