places to make the output more readable.
Gdb now reads its input via the ``readline'' interface. This provides
inline editing of commands, using familiar Emacs or VI commands (like
``tcsh'' or the korn shell); history substitutions a la the C shell;
and storage and recall of your command history across debugging

mode by putting the line ``set editing-mode vi'' in the file .inputrc
in your home directory. For full details, see the description in
readline/inc-readline.texinfo and readline/inc-history.texinfo.
