The two manuals address the subject from opposite directions, so perhaps the emphasis is different. The Emacs manual goes into more detail than GDB developers might wish. So I think that, after a brief description, it would be best for the GDB manual to point to the Emacs manual. This has the added advantage that only one manual need be updated when Emacs interaction GDB changes. Nick
