Nothing on Memory Map Window?

After failing assigning large arrays for my variables, I decided to
use WRITE and READ that is storing the variables' content into
specific EEPROM areas. I chose the starting address of $0 onwards. The
frustrating thing is I can't see it on the Memory Map Window but I
know they are there by using READ command. Can someone explain it to me.

    ALT-M shows the contents of memory at compile time, not run time.
    This command is an Editor Tool, not a real time debugging tool.

    Additionally, as a side note, program memory starts at the bottom and works it
    way up to the top of memory. Data memory starts at the top and works its way
    down to the bottom. If you imagine a case where data memory could be written
    and have the program memory corrupted by it, that is indeed the case. Care
    is therefore recommended when writing to data memory.

    All of the above can be found in the Stamp PBASIC Manual. The manual can be
    downloaded for free from the Parallax web site [noparse][[/noparse] http://www.parallax.com/ ].
