The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,

Quickwatch Command (3 of 3)
Use the Quickwatch command to quickly add, modify or expand
variables or expressions in the Watch window.
■ Use <Zoom> to expand or contract an array or structure.
A '+' is displayed next to a contracted variable and
a '-' next to an expanded variable.
■ Use <Evaluate> to see the value of an expression.
■ To add a watch value, type a variable name or watch
expression in the Expression: text box. Then select
<Add Watch>.
■ To modify the value of a variable, type the new value
in the Value text box and select <Modify Value>.
A watch expression may be any valid C expression.
EXAMPLES:
count
count + 1
count + 1 == 5
For relational expressions, the Watch window shows 0 if the
expression is false and 1 if the expression is true:
count + 1 == 5 : 0 ◄── False
count + 1 == 5 : 1 ◄── True
The Quickwatch command displays variables in the default
C format for their type.
Use <Modify Value> to change the value of a variable.

To change the value of a structure or array, modify the
individual fields or elements. You cannot change an entire
array or structure at once.
