How does one get a backtrace in LPCXpresso?

I am running the free version of LPCXpresso v7.2.0, Build 153, 2014-05-19
We are cross-developing under Windows 8.

I am new to this eclipse platform, and cannot figure out how to get a backtrace.
I am a lot more familiar with command-line gdb under Linux. If I could see the command window, I could just type "bt".
But I can't figure out how to display the command line.

I need to be able to determine from where a function call originated. I know there are additional difficulties with backtracing from inside an exception handler, but that question can wait until another day.

Anyone out there know the "secret handshake" for teasing a simple function call backtrace out of this system?

Thanks,
Frank

The stack backtrack, aka the call stack, is shown in the Debug view. See section 4.4.2 in the User Guide.

Oh. I see it now. I am embarrassed that this has been sitting in front of me for days now and I didn't even recognize it for what it was.
Oops, and thanks for helping me see the obvious.
