You should use fully qualified names for global and static variables, 
because there is no debug information about current symbol lookup, e.g. 
imports. Mago makes a guess from the mangling of the current function, 
though.

The Visual Studio debugger is confused by '.' in names, so it is 
replaced with '@' in the debug information (depending on the respective 
setting on the debug project options), so you could try Mod at App.

A workaround is to use the mangled name, that can be copied from the 
disassembly of an access to that variable. I doubt that this works for 
thread local variables, though.
