And are what I was looking for.  "info target" just wasn't jumping out as
the way to get the list of mapped data.  The list is a little weird with
zero length sections, but I can tell what's mapped now.  Thank you!!

Perhaps put "memory map" in the index and point to
"info target"?  I went for that phrase due to the well-known "pmap":
NAME
       pmap - display information about process memory mappings

SYNOPSIS
       pmap [ -d | -q | -h | -V ] pid

DESCRIPTION
       pmap(1) displays information about a process's memory mappings, such as
       its stack, data segment, mapped files, and so on.

Thank you for your help!  Regards, Bruce
