+@table @code
+@kindex info w32
+@item info w32
+This is a prefix of MS Windows specific commands which print
+information about the target system and important OS structures.
+
+@item info w32 selector
+This command displays information returned by
+the Win32 API @code{GetThreadSelectorEntry} function.

+Without argument, this command displays information
+about the the six segment registers.

+add-sym command but without the need to specify a base address.
+
+@kindex set new-console 
+@item set new-console @var{mode}
+If @var{mode} is @code{on} the debuggee will 
+be started in a new console on next start.
+If @var{mode} is @code{off}i, the debuggee will
+be started in the same console as the debugger.
+
+@kindex show new-console
+@item show new-console
+Displays whether a new console is used
+when the debuggee is started.
+
+@kindex set new-group
+@item set new-group @var{mode}
+This boolean value controls whether the debuggee should
+start a new group or stay in the same group as the debugger.
+This affects the way the Windows OS handles
+Ctrl-C.
+
+@kindex show new-group
+@item show new-group
+Displays current value of new-group boolean.
+
+@kindex set debugevents
+@item set debugevents
+This boolean value adds debug output concerning events seen by the debugger.
+
+@kindex set debugexec
+@item set debugexec
+This boolean value adds debug output concerning execute events 
+seen by the debugger.
+
+@kindex set debugexceptions
+@item set debugexceptions
+This boolean value adds debug ouptut concerning exception events 
+seen by the debugger.
+
+@kindex set debugmemory
+@item set debugmemory
+This boolean value adds debug ouptut concerning memory events 
+seen by the debugger.
+
+@kindex set shell
+@item set shell
