In this context, the implication is that the user wants to get a list of 
all actionpoints, and it is now the case that only "info break" will 
list everything.  If we wanted to retain a mention of "info watch", 
there would be some complicated rephrasing to clarify that "info watch" 
will not show regular breakpoints etc, and since the point of the 
sentence is just to remind the user that the info command is a 
convenient way to find out the valid actionpoint numbers, simpler seemed 
better.
