         MyForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form") 




2. Open the Debugger in Debugger Frame mode.



3. Add MyForm as a Watch expression in the Watch window.



4. Click on the "MyForm" string under the Names column twice, or select the entry and then click on the MyForm string so that it goes into edit mode. Edit mode means that there is a blinking cursor within the MyForm entry of the Names column. The Mouse Cursor changes to an I-Beam when it is over the MyForm entry.



5. Delete the "MyForm" entry using the Backspace or Delete key



6. Press Enter.
