I have adopted most of them.

Actually, we'll remove this, because it isn't yet implemented and its syntax going to be changed anyway. > This should say "as of @value{GDBN} version X.YY".

OK, but I am not sure what editorial comment you are implying with the word "verbiage" (:->). > > +The type of the @t{'Address} attribute may not be @t{System.Address}. > > I think you should use @code instead of @t in this and similar cases. Umph. The problem is that @code{'Address} generates `'Address' in Info files, which looks odd. Paul
