 	The WATCHPOINT UTILITY is an Internal Use Only debugging tool that
 	maintains a history of modification that are made to a particular
 	location in system (S0) address space.  The WATCHPOINT  command
 	interpreter (WP) issues $QIO request to the WATCHPOINT driver
 	(WPDRIVER) from commands that follow the standard rules of DCL
 	grammar.

 	Commands may be entered at the WP> prompt to set, delete, and obtain
 	information from watchpoints.

 	Before invoking the WATCHPOINT command interpreter (WP), the
 	WATCHPOINT driver (WPDRIVER), must first be installed with SYSGEN.
 	This can be accomplished as follows:

 	$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
 	SYSGEN> CONNECT WPA0:/NOADAPTER
 	SYSGEN> EXIT

 	The WATCHPOINT command interpreter (WP) can then be invoked with the
 	command:

 	$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:WP

 	Commands may then be entered at the WP> prompt to set, delete,and
 	obtain information from Watchpoints.
