If you edit the %W s in the vars window and change them to %IW or %QW
(or %Cxx.V etc for that matter) it will display the appropriate data.
I intend to change the window sometime though i'm not sure exactly how....
at this moment only %E (error) variables are not displayable in a vars window.
As for the vertical bar the way to erase it was to place it again. The eraser
didn't work on the vertical bar but is fixed now.
At one time I was going to write up about the file format but didn't think
anyone would be interested. When things really screw up it is sometimes
the easiest way- I will add it to the wiki when I get time - it would be good
reference for me anyways.
