However you like. The crucial thing for me would be to call out a  
list of variables for special attention. Those variables need to be  
easily viewable as a group. In other words, if you have a list of  
variable/value pairs, there needs to be some way to see the variables  
you're interested in without expanding the list to the height of the  
screen, even if those variables don't sort together automatically.

Man, I'm getting less clear by the second. In Navigator you have a  
list of all the objects on a card, but you might be interested in  
only five of them. You can double-click those five objects in the  
list to place references to the (bookmarks) at the top of the list.  
Then you can ignore the rest of the list and just deal with the  
bookmarks. That's what I want ;-)

I should point out that the debugger/variable watcher is likely the  
feature that would cause me to purchase Constellation. I do all of my  
work in Navigator, the script editor/debugger, and the message box.  
If Constellation replaces the debugger, I'd pretty much abandon the  
Rev environment entirely. (what a weird concept)
