item displayed in the Source window:
• select an item, then chose Object > Examine or Object > Description from the
Source window menu
• select an item with the right mouse button to view examine pop-up (select "now"
to examine the current simulation time in VHDL code)
You can also invoke the examine
(CR-51) and/or describe (CR-41) command on
the command line or in a macro.
