-To rerun the application I need to reload it via my communication.
- I need to send Ctrl-C manually to the running macro script
- I have some macro scripts to show embedded RTOS structures (task states, 
semaphores, etc.)
- I want to have a glance on some peripheral registers (or variables), which 
names I do not remember exactly and gdb helps me.
There must be more, I do not remember, I type them automatically...:-))

Yes, but this does not help me...:-))

Yes, but then if I want to see it for the second time - again...
And in gdb I need "arrow up" only...:-))
