Full variable introspection in debugger window

Another pet peeve. When developing in 4D I can’t see past 254 characters in the debugger window.

So I have to either Alert($some_really_long_string) or write the data to file. Annoying.

Maybe I should start a twitter account for these minute frustrations.
