Frankly I don't recall the technical reason that temps were not made available in the GemTools debugger ... our compiler is written in C and does not have as many entry points as the Pharo compiler so "faking a method context" when doing evaluation within debugger frame could be a bit difficult to accomplish ... then again, I might not have been smart enough when I wrote the debugger chunk ... 

I haven't added menus to the text windows yet in tODE, but now that you've mentioned this I will take a closer look at making this happen in tODE ...
