Hi

monst has ctr+t which handle bsr/jsr/trap/..., but not ctrl+n (according 
to devpac3 doc).

This could be possible to add, the logic would be similar to 'n' command 
: runs until pc reaches the next instruction after the current "DBcc" 
instruction.

So if current instruction is not bsr/jsr/trap/dbcc, run for just 1 
instruction, else run until pc points just after the current branch 
instruction (so having 'n' handles dbcc like othe bsr/jsr/trap should 
not require too much code).

Now, if someone feels like adding this, don't hesitate :)
