xcode 3.2 How to turn startup text in console?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2 and now every time I test my code in the console, I get this:

[Session started at 2009-08-29 13:50:24 -0500.]
GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1344) (Fri Jul 3 01:19:56 UTC 2009)

Loading program into debugger…
Program loaded.
run

Running…

I used to only get the Session Started line.

Why has this changes and Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yea, this is very annoying as it takes up half the screen.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you certain?

I only see it at the beginning, once....after that, the only thing that repeats for me is the 'session started' tag...

Yes, it keeps happening. It seems logical that it should only do it once, but for me it does it every time.
Please help. 🙂

The gdb executable is located in Developer/usr/bin/gdb...Is there any way to edit this file?

I saw this quiet option in another forum, but I don't know how to execute it. Do I edit the gdb file as the previous poster suggested? And if so, where do I need to put that line of code.

Sorry if I need a little more handholding, but I am just diving into programming. 🙂

Thanks in advance.

So I opened the gdb file in terminal and typed "quiet", which it said was an undefined command.

Is this not the correct way to do that?

So I've been asking and have come across these posts that I haven't been able to implement, but seem to be pointing in the right direction.
