+@cindex breakpoint ranges
+@cindex ranges of breakpoints
+Some @value{GDBN} commands accept a range of breakpoints on which to
+operate.  A breakpoint range is either a single breakpoint number, like
+@samp{5}, or two such numbers, in increasing order, separated by a
+hyphen, like @samp{5-7}.  When a breakpoint range is given to a command,
+all breakpoint in that range are operated on.
