Now, what does the EQU's "point at" that you'd like to watch ?

If you *are* using a linker script, you are (more or less)
saying that your are using relocatable code. And if so,
you should not use EQU to point to RAM variables anyway.
(See the RES directive.)

So there is some logic in that MPLAB hides the EQU's whenever
you include a linker script, one could say. What is it that
you'd like to watch ?

I was not able to reproduce what you are seeing, since I don't
have any code that builds cleanly both with and without the
linker script. And without a clean build, the watch windows
don't seems to work at all.

B.t.w, how come that you have decided to use a linker script ?
I'm asking since you asked about the difference between those
and header files...
