How can you set up the debugger to sense when a variable changes value (I am trying to locate overwriting of memory)?

(1) in a watch window find the address of the variable with loc(variable-name) (right click to get hex display of address)

(2) From the menus Debug->New Breakpoint->New Data Breakpoint and put in the address of the variable.
