> "help path" doesn't mention that "path" with no argument prints > out the current path. It doesn't mention that "help path foo bar" prints the new path either. The way to print the path is with "show path". "path" alone happens to print the new path after adding zero directories to it. > Also, GDB should have an "info version" command which prints out > the current GDB version. This bug is for GDB 4.5.5, but I had > to start up a new GDB to find out. "show version". We rearranged the informational commands back in gdb-4.0. "show" handles things that refer to the GDB or debugging environment; "info" handles things that refer to the target program. We kept a few "info" aliases for things that are more properly "show"s, to provide easier continuity for users. John
