Dereference

Choose Dereference from the popup menu in a Program, Private, or Local Variables monitor to show the storage contents of the selected pointer variable.

This choice is available only when the variable you have selected is a pointer, or is an array or object name displayed in pointer representation (with a ">" to its left). To change an array or object to pointer representation, choose Edit->Representation from the menu bar, or Next representation from the popup menu.
