   There are several commands for starting a debugger under GUD, each
 corresponding to a particular debugger program.

+Run GDB as a subprocess of Emacs.  This uses an IDE-like graphical

 @item M-x gud-gdb @key{RET} @var{file} @key{RET}
 @findex gud-gdb
 Run GDB as a subprocess of Emacs.  This command creates a buffer for
 input and output to GDB, and switches to it.  If a GDB buffer already
-exists, it just switches to that buffer.  (To run GDB in an IDE-like
-graphical interface instead, see @ref{GDB Graphical Interface}.)

+Run DBX as a subprocess of Emacs.  Since Emacs does not implement a
