Thanks.
We discussed this on the palm-dev forum back around April... watchpoints
can't be implemented in hardware due to the lack of support by the
Dragonball chipset, but I suggested that they could work in the emulator,
since it already had a primitive watchpoint mechanism. If you need one in
POSE, you can find the address of the variable to watch, then set your own
in the "Settings/Breakpoints" dialog -- enter the address into the data
breakpoints. I'd suggested that CW could use that mechanism, but I don't
think its been implemented.
