RE: STRISDB debugger - was RE: CPW=0 and one session?

The STRISDB mode is more like that of, say, Visual
Basic's watch - you can see the values every time you
stop at any statement. There's no way in STRDBG to see
the values as you go, without F11 or eval. The watch
there is like a breakpoint whenever something changes -
a different way to think of a watch. Of course, you can
always do conditional breaks. The STRISDB kind of watch
would save me from having to do a bunch of EVALs.
