Well - there are at least commands to show PTE mapings and also
to read and write memory and register locations in various styles.
It's possible, but still hard work to get a function address with
this so it's of limited use it that case.
Or can we see the trapping codeaddress in any register?

Yeah - that's more a usefull tool.
I think I've already seen it by accident too.
IIRC it was a single letter command to enter, but I already tested
every single letter on NoName.
Possible that NoName's SRM just isn't good enough - will recheck on
a decent machine later.
