Sorry for the noise everyone.

I started to compose the last mail thinking "set inferior-tty" would solve my
problem. Then on further testing, I found it didn't.

I'm still up for fixing gdb to do the job properly - or can someone on this list
tell me why I'd be wasting my time?

Cheers ... Duncan.
