Using gdb 3.4, the texinfo documentation for set-environment doesn't
match the syntax accepted by gdb.

`set-environment VARNAME VALUE'     
     Sets environment variable VARNAME to VALUE, for your
     program only, not for GDB itself.  VALUE may be any string; the
     values of environment variables are just strings, and any
     interpretation is supplied by your program itself.  This command
     can be abbreviated as short as `set-e'.


`set environment VARNAME VALUE' is accepted by gdb 3.4.  Perhaps this
should say `set environment VARNAME VALUE' instead?  Rich
