Once I have activated a debugged process from gdb, how do I invoke a
particlular function as with the dbx `call' command.  For instance,
I have a function which displays an odd structure in a nice format.
In dbx I simply type:

(dbx) call PrintOddStruct(theOddStruct)

I can't find an equivalent gdb command.  I've looked at the help within
gdb and the gdb info pages from emacs.
