     A Memory window displays a contiguous region of memory. To specify
     the starting address and format of the displayed region:
 
        ■ Choose the Memory Window command from the Options menu
 
        ■ Enter the VM command in the command window
       OR
        ■ Type the address over any address in the Memory window
 
     See: View Memory (VM) Command-Window Command
          Options Menu: Memory-Window Command
 
     You can also change the starting address by typing a new address
     in the address bar, or you can change the display format by
     pressing SHIFT+F3.
 
     To change values in memory, overtype the values in the memory
     window. The values you type must match the current display format.
     You cannot insert values in fixed-length fields; however, you can
     insert values in variable-length fields (for example, for decimal
     numbers).
 
     To toggle between the value you enter in a field and the original
     value in that field, press ALT+BACKSPACE or choose the Undo
     command from the Edit menu.
     See: Edit Menu: Undo Command
 
     CodeView can display two Memory windows at one time; one Memory
     window is designated as active. When a Memory window is active,
     any commands that do not specify a particular Memory window affect
     the active Memory window.
 
     To make a Memory window active:
 
        ■ Click the mouse in the window
       OR
        ■ Enter an M1 command in the command window to make Memory
          window 1 active, or an M2 command to make Memory window 2
          active
 
     See: Make Memory Window Active (M1, M2) Command-Window Command
