Several questions on Workbench

Question:

Customer has several questions of Workbench:

1. How to bring up Workbench in smaller font

2. Get Debugger to print point to structure once cast pointer to
different data type

3. If they highlight a structure name they can't print the structure
name.


Response:

1.  Font size on Debugger:  Customer needs to set Softdb*fontList: in
      .Xdefaults.  This will set the size of the fonts in the working
      areas.  To change the font size of the menus, he needs to set 
      Softdb*menu... in /usr/softbench/schemes/color or whichever one
      he is using.

2.  Trying to display value in a casted pointer and data structure.
    This is not working--i.e. the value will not display.  Actually 
    when selected, they are getting the error message "Unknown Selection"
    or "Syntax error".   
    This capability is not supported at this time in Program Debugger.

3.  Responses about displaying structures:
    Selecting the structure and pointer such as:
        current->data_ptr
    results in a message of "unknown selection".  This can still be
    displayed using "View" or "View in Variable Pane".  This will show 
    the one entry in the structure.

    The entire structure can be displayed by selecting "current" in
    the above example, "View in Variable Pane" and "Expand".
