I could make it work but it would be far from ideal.
I've been reading the docs a bit more, it seems the -var-create command
can provide the functionality I want (and more), it'll take a little
more coding on my part but appears a much superior way of doing things.

Ps, reading through the list I found a reference to this page, perhaps
you would be so kind as to add a link for me? The project homepage is
linked to in my sig http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB%20Front%20Ends
