Jim,
As Emacs release draws closer, I would like my mode (gdb-ui.el) to work with
Tiger. I've looked over some old e-mails and (Mon, 29 Mar 2004) you have said:

On FSF gdb (GNU gdb 6.3.50.20050502-cvs) "interpreter mi" expands to
"interpreter-exec mi" and this is still the command that I use in gdb-ui.el:
usage: interpreter-exec <interpreter> [ <command> ... ]
If I try your example, I get:
(gdb) interpreter execute mi "-var-update *"
Could not find interpreter "execute".
Tiger ( == powerpc-apple-darwin8.0? ) uses a version of GDB based on 6.0 right?
What should I use for this case, "interpreter mi" or "interpreter execute mi"?
Thanks,
Nick
