Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 19:55:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040618195549.0C0214B104@berman.michael-chastain.com> (raw)

Okay, here's draft #2.  I mentioned Emacs as well as 'script'.
I added a @pindex and a @cindex.

Testing: Rebuilt gdb.info and checked the output files.

Okay to commit?
