Agreed, given that "set args" is supposed to treat the entire argument list as literal without any processing. (Hm... should there be a flavor of "set args" that does shell-style expansion of the args list? That sure would be handy for cases where I want to debug a program that's being handed a wildcard, or some similar expanded argument, and I end up having to expand it manually when inside GDB...) paul
