Also, I'm not sure this should be a top-level @section (but if it is, I believe you will have to add it to the top-level menu as well). How about making it a subsection of "Running"? > +@value{GDBN} keeps track of the inferiors under control, be them > +either running processes, core files, or remote targets without a > +notion of processes, but which nonetheless have execution, and allows > +the user to query and be notified about them uniformally, using the > +commands below. This text falls short of explaining why these features are useful.

By default, these messages will not be printed. If the default is off, then perhaps we should tell when would the user want them on. But maybe if you add explanation I asked for above, they will clarify this as well. Thanks.
