Well, I don't see how that subtle difference matters here.  For
example, in the "Messages/Warnings" node the manual currently says:

    `set confirm off'
	 Disables confirmation requests.

    `set confirm on'
	 Enables confirmation requests (the default).

    `show confirm'
	 Displays state of confirmation requests.

What I had in mind is adding a note like this:

    @item set confirm off
    Disables confirmation requests.  Note that running @value{GDBN}
    with the @option{--batch} option (@pxref{Mode Options, --batch})
    also automatically disables confirmation requests.

and similarly for pagination.

They are okay otherwise.  Thanks.
