You could build a MIAW which used a timeout() object to poll and display
the data value of a specific variable in a text member...
timeout("dataWatcher").new(500, #updateDisplay, (script "watcherCode")
-- script "watcherCode:
on updateDisplay me
(member "display").text = string(someSpecificVariable)
end updateDisplay
The rest is up to your artist skills for the UI and creating some sort of
method for selecting the variable or expression to watch rather than
hardcoding it as I did above.
