Well, I don't see how that subtle difference matters here. For
example, in the "Messages/Warnings" node the manual currently says:
`set confirm off'
Disables confirmation requests.
`set confirm on'
Enables confirmation requests (the default).
`show confirm'
Displays state of confirmation requests.
What I had in mind is adding a note like this:
@item set confirm off
Disables confirmation requests. Note that running @value{GDBN}
with the @option{--batch} option (@pxref{Mode Options, --batch})
also automatically disables confirmation requests.
and similarly for pagination.

They are okay otherwise. Thanks.
