Is there an easy way of telling the debugger to display a variable as

There is a way, but more like a workaround. Doesn't work for locals, put
works in Watches window:
Pointer(MyVar)
Btw, if you need spaces in an expression
MyVar and 255
you actually need to quote it by hand:
"MyVar and 255"
Include the quotes in the watches win, and it will work.
Thanks both. I ended up hacking it with a temporary conversion in the
code which allowed me to see what I'd done wrong :-)
Getting the missing watchpoint style coded sounds like a tricky job
since it would presumably need additions to whatever makes the internal
structure persistent, as well as the UI for setting it up and handling
the display.
