No. `show' is for ``showing [and setting] things about the debugger'' - show remote, show debug. Just ignore `set variable ...'. info is for ``showing things about the program being debugged]] - info frame, info registers, info symbols There can be overlap between a `set/show' and `info', but I don't think that occures here.
