Hmm, I would expect this to be a function of the debugger in the IDE.
I guess that is why I am having difficulty finding it. :-)
It does appear that, at least with 6.11, I can open and query the
state of an attribute in an object in the object browser.

Absolutely.

<sigh> Yes I can but that strikes me as a bit of a kludge. I was
hoping for something a bit more, uh, integrated. But, yeah, I can tie
a switch to an I/O port and wait on it.
General question: over the course of my professional career I have
been spoiled by having good source and object code debugging tools.
Are these not common in the microcontroller world? Come to think of
it, I certainly haven't run across any.
