I've changed that to the following:

 | Then start up Emacs, e.g. using the command @samp{emacs},
 | and type @kbd{M-x mdb @key{RET}}. Emacs will prompt you for
 | the mdb command to invoke
 | 
 | @example
 | Run mdb (like this): mdb
 | @end example
 | 
 | @noindent
 | and you should type in the name of the program that you want to debug
 | and any arguments that you want to pass to it:
 | 
 | @example
 | Run mdb (like this): mdb ./hello arg1 arg2 ...
 | @end example

Hopefully that is clearer?
