Is there a way to see the n-th byte of a byte array? If it is declared as
an array, MPLAB mostly recognizes that and displays all the values. But
sometimes I have only a pointer to it (unsigned char*) and MPLAB doesn't
know that the pointer points to an array with 20 values. But I do, and I
might want to see all of them, or a particular one.

"*pointer" works and shows the value at the address pointer points to. But
"*(pointer+1)" doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gerhard
