	entries into the General Query Packets section.  Add a
	cross-reference to that section.

! Packets starting with @samp{q} are @dfn{general query packets};
! packets starting with @samp{Q} are @dfn{general set packets}.  General
! query and set packets are a semi-unified form for retrieving and
! sending information to and from the stub.
! 
! The initial letter of a query or set packet is followed by a name
! indicating what sort of thing the packet applies to.  For example,
! @value{GDBN} may use a @samp{qSymbol} packet to exchange symbol
! definitions with the stub.  These packet names follow some
! conventions:
! 
! @itemize @bullet
! @item
! The name must not contain commas, colons or semicolons.
! @item
! Most @value{GDBN} query and set packets have a leading upper case
! letter.
! @item
! The names of custom vendor packets should use a company prefix, in
! lower case, followed by a period.  For example, packets designed at
! the Acme Corporation might begin with @samp{qacme.foo} (for querying
! foos) or @samp{Qacme.bar} (for setting bars).
! @end itemize
! 
! A query or set packet may optionally be followed by a @samp{,} or
! @samp{;} separated list.  Stubs must be careful to match the full
! packet name, in case packet names have common prefixes.
