I'm sorry, but I don't really understand this. Or, rather I understand that ANTLRWorks is creating a specialized wrapper around my parser so that it can talk to the debugger. But how does that help me creating and modifying the test rig (as per the dialoges in ANTLRWorks: "Edit the xxx.g Test rig for Java" and my need to instantiate a case-insensitive input stream).

Being a newbie I don't know what steps to take to "simply change the parser instance". Where do I find it? There seems to be very few java files generated at a location that I can find... Do I have to revert to running Antrl from the command line with magic switches? And then build manually? I can do that, but I jumped in at the ANTLRWorks level and thought I could go on working at that level...
