One thing that TMON Pro gives you that I put into use almost immediately, was
being able to define my own "structure" template for use in a Memory Window.
This is a fabulous aid to anyone who writes data-structure intensive code,
and who doesn't.  You define these templates by creating a set of resources.
What I haven't yet figured out is why ICOM didn't include a header compiler
to create these resources automatically from the .h files.  In any event,
I'm planning on writing one ASAP.  You would then be able to extend TMON
Pro's Memory Windows to understand your program's structures by just 
running your .h files through this app that produces the necessary resources
in whatever file you specify. Let me know if there is any interest.
