Like you I also migrated to AVR from basic stamps. What I do is 
configure a software UART to send output to a serial LCD display for 
debug terminal, however you could just as easily do the same thing 
through a serial cable and using a terminal program, emulate the 
debug terminal. BTW, that's all the debug terminal is in PBASIC.
