        how do i know what commands lists all the local variables
        in a scope. just do 'help show | grep local'

        IMHO, extensive on-line-help is useless, if i can't search
        for a world thru it. in dbx, i can do a help -k keyword
        just like 'man -k'. 

        I'll will work someday to try to integrate gdb with zsh some
        day. After using dbx with Sun-5.0, I find gdb _very_ limiting.

        
        BTW, is there any effort to make a geniune components out
        of gdb( a libgdb.a/so with libgdb.g ?), with tcl thingy
        cleany out of it , or is redhat going to make a spaghetti of
        code ?
