RE: working with the value of integer variables in debug

I used scientific notation; BREAK 5 when index = 4.00e00  It was a stab in
the dark.  I did an ATTR index and it told me CARDINAL, 2 bytes.  I can
find no manual reference for this behaviour...

As for Mr Enzien trying to eval %found(filename), I don't believe this is
supported.  The only BIFs that the debugger seems to support are %SUBSTR,
%INDEX and %VAR.  Documentation seems scanty.
