DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SHOW  SYMBOL  Description
    The SHOW SYMBOL command displays information that the debugger
    has about a given symbol in the current image. This information
    might not be the same as what the compiler had or even what
    you see in your source code. Nonetheless, it is useful for
    understanding why the debugger might act as it does when handling
    symbols.

    By default, the SHOW SYMBOL command lists all of the possible
    declarations or definitions of a specified symbol that exist in
    the RST for the current image (that is, in all set modules and
    in the GST for that image). Symbols are displayed with their
    path names. A path name identifies the search scope (module,
    nested routines, blocks, and so on) that the debugger must follow
    to reach a particular declaration of a symbol. When specifying
    symbolic address expressions in debugger commands, use path
    names only if a symbol is defined multiple times and the debugger
    cannot resolve the ambiguity.

    The /DEFINED and /LOCAL qualifiers display information about
    symbols defined with the DEFINE command (not the symbols that
    are derived from your program). The other qualifiers display
    information about symbols defined within your program.
