You don't want the disassembly window (invoked by the confusingly named 
Show Assembly command) - that's just for viewing compiler output. In the 
debugger you need to toggle the view from source to assembly - there's 
an equally confusingly named menu command whose location varies 
depending on what version of Xcode you are running. In Xcode 3.0 it's 
Run -> Debugger Display -> Disassembly Only. After you switch the 
debugger view to assembler (Disassembly Only) then the single step 
operation will operate on one assembler source line (i.e. one 
instruction), and ditto for breakpoints etc.
