During single step mode, is there a way to pause and then continue?

On large projects, actually tracking the process of the program can be quite difficult at the speed of the single step. Is there a way to pause the single step, so that one could search out the block in use, then continue the single step?

if you doublle click a block or set of blocks it carries out the action. so you could seperate the script and try it out in sections.

I've found the single-step mode to be essentially useless.
For debugging, I use 3 techniques:

1) double-clicking on scripts (as bibB mentioned)
2) double-clicking on a broadcast instruction, to trigger a set of related scripts
3) pulling apart a script to stop halfway through it.
