Hello out there,

	Can somebody help me with gdb?  Well I can't seem to make
it work...

Well I compile my program with

cc -g -o program program.c

gdb program

.. this is the part where i'm stuck..  I can't do anything.  I have
been using "dbx" for a while and it is good but I would rather use
gdb...  On dbx when I type step, it goes step by step , etc..  However
when I do the same on gdb all I get is "program is not running" or
something like that..  When I type the run command it just runs the
program but it doesn't do it step by step...  I'm pretty sure I'm doing
something really stupid and missing something... 
program however it doesn't stop step by step..  

I would like to know how I can make gdb act like dbx..  When I type
help running, it shows me a list of the commands..  However I can't
run them because the program needs to be running..

Any help appreciated..
