I think (though I've certainly never written a debugger) that "true"
watch-points would be a whole lot harder to write. And they're by no
means as often useful. I'd let that go at least for now.

It seems there are two requests...
- one to make a variable whose value has just changed to be easy to
see and
- another to stop execution, like a breakpoint.
Right?

Jerry,
The reason I wanted a "watched" variables folder was not because I
expected execution to stop if any value changed, it was because I
have so many variables, that I wanted to reduce the widow area
needed to see all the variables I needed to see in order to debug
the suspect area of a script. Half of my variables are arrays
(large ones) --and globals at that. So any of these methods that
allow a reduced set of variables to be visible at once are of
interest to me. Many times I am desk checking the result of a
variable that has changed against the variables used in the
calculation, so even though the input variable values did not
change, I still want to see their values.

PS. Please send me the test version also and I will see how I
like it.

Question for Variable Watching folks:
Why do we want a list of watched variables?
I ask this because I only want to see them if their value changes.
What if any value that changes is hilited?
That approach would be far more economical (processing time, and
real estate) AND I think it gives the desired effect--you get to
watch any variable whose value changes after the execution of a
line of code.
But maybe I'm missing something. Before you answer that, read the
next paragraph, please.
NOTE for Constellation Users: If you would like to see the
approach to variable watching that I just mentioned, let me know
and I'll email you a non-released version of Constellation that
has a free-standing (non embedded) version of this variable watcher.
