* New Facilities
Gdb now paginates its output, with a ``more''-like interface. You can
set the screen width and screen height with new ``set'' commands; they
default to your terminal settings. Wide output is wrapped at good
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
sessions. The default is Emacs mode; to switch temporarily to vi mode,
use control-meta-J or ESC control-j. You can switch permanently to vi
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.
