To watch the value at an address or the value to which a register points, use the
BY, WO, or DW operator:
• BY returns the contents of the byte pointed at.
• WO returns the contents of the word pointed at.
• DW returns the contents of the doubleword pointed at.
Follow the operator with a variable, register, or constant. If the BY, WO, or DW
operator is followed by a variable, then the environment watches the byte, word,
or doubleword at the address contained in the variable.
You can also use the context operator { } to display the contents of any location.
To display a Unicode string in the Watch window or the QuickWatch dialog box,
use the su format specifier. To display data bytes with Unicode characters in the
Watch window or the QuickWatch dialog box, use the mu format specifier.
