Getting RGB information in GIMP 2,4

Hello,
I have just installed Gimp2.4 and have run into a problem: I cannot find a way to display the RGB brightness information under the cursor. In version 2.2x I brought this up by pressing F8, but that does not work for me in 2.4. I have searched Help and the menus, but still cannot find it.
I must have missed something basic, but am stuck! and I would appreciate any help to find this tool.

Many thanks, Peter Taylor

Try Dialog->Pointer
You might also find Dialog->Sample Points (to set a sample point hold down CTRL and drag the cursor from the measurement bar (like you're setting a guide but hold down CTRL) to be useful.
