Cabeat, I haven't checked, but from memory:

go = Run the program from the current point onwards
until you hit the next break point or until it ends.

over = step over the function on the current line
(ie don't step into it)

out = run the rest of the function and stop when
you exit it back to the level above. Often used to fix
an accidental step-into
