OK,  I also see them now, but as you say only in the show references branch of
an xref.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I didn't expect this to be the result of the "generate references to local
variables" switch,  is there any way of forcing local variables to be treated
the same way as globals ?  Or is there some problem relating to multiple local
variables from different function scopes havint the same name ?

Aparently not :-)

Thanks again,
