I would like to examine the actual x86 or x64 generated code that corresponds to the original PB source.

Actualy PB generates asm code. You can keep the commented (comments are the PB source lines) asm file by launching the PB compiler with the parameter /COMMENTED.

When you're using Bochs with the internal debugger, you can trigger the debugger via a facility called magic breakpoints. To trigger a breakpoint, you can insert xchg bx, bx (in GAS syntax, xchgw %bx, %bx) anywhere in the code and Bochs will trap into the debugger as soon as it executes it. On real hardware this has no effect as it merely replaces the BX register with itself.
You should put the following line in your Bochs configuration file to have it listen to magic breakpoints: magic_break: enabled=1

I use OllyDbg or x64dbg to debug assembly code.
Just put a "!int 3" befor your code, to trigger a breakpoint in the debugger. Then i single step through the code.
