"info" is also a GDB command -- that would surely leave users confused. :-( If four lines is too much, then my previous suggestion, but merged to three lines, still leaves us with 71 columns: For more information about this security protection see the "Auto-loading safe path" section in the GDB manual (For example, run from the shell: info \"(gdb)Auto-loading safe path\). IMO, that's not too long, and is maximally informative. WRT emacs, I honestly think that an emacs user is able to do the "I don't need to run 'info' on shell -- I can do it right here in the minibuffer" mental jump. -- Pedro Alves
