Of course you can issue these commands from MI (or from the Insight console window), but that should not be an issue as these are not commands meant to be used by programs interfacing to this frontend (that would be "-data-disassemble" which uses some other code). I have a follow-on patch that makes the output of "display /i" look better, which I will submit straight away. Maciej
