The phrase "The server prefix" is already used three lines earlier
(without @code). How about:
*** gdb.texinfo 06 Aug 2009 15:42:03 +1200 1.614
--- gdb.texinfo 06 Aug 2009 17:07:08 +1200
*************** Displays how many symbol complaints @val
*** 18009,18014 ****
--- 18009,18015 ----
@end table
+ @anchor{confirmation requests}
By default, @value{GDBN} is cautious, and asks what sometimes seems to be a
lot of stupid questions to confirm certain commands. For example, if
you try to run a program which is already running:
*************** command to repeat if @key{RET} is presse
*** 25697,25705 ****
means that commands can be run behind a user's back by a front-end in
a transparent manner.
! The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the value
! history; to print a value without recording it into the value history,
! use the @code{output} command instead of the @code{print} command.
