How exactly do I achieve this? I've had a read through the help files and I
feel I'm
close but it still doesn't work. My problem is that I am using a rather
complex structure rather than a simple variable. I am trying to access a bit
of data a fair way into the structure which is read with, for example

t=temp.p.ph.w;        // this is an unsigned short, by the way.

in a bit of C code. Now I need to keep an eye on temp.p.ph.w with the Rhide
debugger and it simply isn't happening. I have added a breakpoint which is
set for file/line. The file and line number are correct and it is
highlighting the appropriate line with no problems. However, my condition
for this breakpoint, temp.p.ph.w==0 is being ignored. If I write C code to
test for this occurence it is spotted instantly, however, I cannot write C
code to test the value as it changes frequently and I am trying to debug a
section of dynamically generated machine code which cannot be interrupted in
any way (doing this produces different results to the ones I'm getting now).
Basically I have to be able to trap temp.p.ph.w at any number of differing
values and I just need the appropriate condition line to do so.

Thanks for your time,
Andrew
