DT should better support a global preference (GBLPREF)-File with RDz

When you use full-screen interface a GBLPREF-file is usual and helpful to provide the users customized setup for DT, e.g. setting keys similar like a competing debugger to easily switch.
This way a parallel used RDZ / Eclipse debugging will have a Debug console full blown with many error messages telling about all the commands RDz doesn't know (of course it doesn't know key setting for example).
The remote debugger should be enhanced to be able to understand a %IF - THEN - ELSE and it should possible to determine whether running full-screen or remote debug mode.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each RFE. The offering team has carefully reviewed this RFE and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans within the next 1-2 years, so the RFE will be closed. The request will be kept in RFE system and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
