when i write an uboot image to my flash with ppc-linux-gdb (with a MPCBDM cable), i get from time to time the following message: ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---

Can anybody please tell me how to get rid of this?

I take it that it may be a two-pass sort of solution. In the first pass, RTFM.

Then open your GDB manual, and try if you can find something that might be related to Controlling GDB, and if there is something written about the Screen size or so.

Write down each step it took you to get the wanted information, so that you can repeat the procedure in case similar propblems come up later.

Please also note that your posting is not related to U-Boot and thus off topic here.

Hope this helps.
