We thought it would be a reasonable set of commands that would allow a GUI to do what it needed. We decided to implement them as the need would arise. It turned out in reality that not all those commands were necessary. > Also, how does eclipse interface with MI if so many commands are > missing?

You can look at the debugger plugin code at http://www.eclipse.org/cdt.
