I'm just moving over from using Make files mainly for porting to actually doing primary development on my Mac rather than Visual Studio. I have one question that's really been bugging me.

When I place a variable in the expression window, it doesn't retain its display between calls to the debugger. Yet there doesn't appear to be a window with watch variables I set that remains persistent between calls to the debugger. On Visual Studio I have two panes, one, like Apple's, is the debugger's "best guess" of what variables are of interest. (About right half the time, but frequently not too helpful when you have complex classes or structs) The other pane in Visual Studio is a tabbed pane where you can type expressions and they stay there even when I quit Visual Studio.

Right now this is a huge pain in the ass. I'm hoping I'm just missing something obvious, so any help would be welcomed. Otherwise it is almost a deal killer for doing my primary development on the Mac with ProjectBuilder. (Although ProjectBuilder is head and shoulders better than Codewarrior)
