[DUG] Debugger - variable values

[Myles Penlington]

Do a build instead of a compile. Should fix the issue. Hmm, in D6 may
need to add the debug library to the path as well. 

The main issue is that the unit (classes.pas) being used by the project
will not have debug info/frames etc.
One other alternative is to copy classes.pas into your project folder
while debugging.

We always have the full vcl on the path and rebuild the whole lot. Fixes
the issue.

Myles.

Situation
Using D6. Optimization off. Frames on. Allow function calls in new
watches on.

Problem
Still cannot see CommaText: function TStrings.GetCommaText eliminated by
linker. What else must I
set?
