i dont think you need that :S, mine is greyed out...i dont know even know what that does though lol

turing does sow you variables, all blue text is either a variable, procedure, or a function

Im not sure what your asking...but it seems like you want to display variables or something?
code:

var mouse_x:int:=0
put mouse_x
%--useless under here
for i:1..5
put mouse_x+(2*i)
end for

if your using oot and your talking about the button on the top.....well I'm not sure what it does, I think it may be, if you variables are scattered throughout the program that will show all of them... the easiest thing it to do is just keep all of your global variables at the top and ignore the button!!!! (unless Im wrong)

this is what oot help menu says




Show vars on/off When selected, will result in the debugger
automatically displaying a set of helpful
debugging screens.

dan is right... in oot 3 you use the "show variables" to show all the values of variables while the program is running... it's too bad they don't have it in turing 4 yet, because it's a really helpful debugging tool... sometimes I will even run my program in oot 3 to use it... it can really help find errors
