AppleWin does that mostly.  It's just a little more painful than just 
dropping the info into a textfile.

I actually searched for the address, B7B5, in a memory dump, then used 
breakpoints.

It's a bit harder to track in games because AppleWin unthrottles when 
tracing.  So I can't tell what it does when level 1 is won.  (I had a 
similar problem trying to trace Mr. Do!.)
