This is approved, but: > +@item target remote @var{medium} > +@cindex @code{target remote} > @cindex remote target Please remove this cindex entry. You already added such an entry where the detailed description of this command is given; having another one here is redundant, and even harmful, since this section doesn't really explain about the command. > +@code{target remote} supports the @code{load} command.

I'm guessing that this paragraph might be important in some situation (which one, btw?), otherwise you wouldn't be adding it. So perhaps an index entry related to that situation would in order here. What phrases would a person who looks for this information have in mind? Thanks.
