The data is truncated to 255 characters and it's very difficult to find the appropriate variable within the structure. I have now uploaded a patch (http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21990) that adds a treeview where each variable within the structure is shown. You can easily scroll down to find the desired variable and nothing gets truncated anymore.

I' will look at it in a moment...

- Are you aware of the "inspect" function? (in trunk avail via context 
menu, on every watch)
- There also is the evaluate window.
- And in trunk (if you instal IProDesgn package)  you can inspect via 
hint, and enter the hint with the mouse.
