<H2>flush</H2>
<HR>
Forget changes to the edit cell (or to the indicated cell) since the
last saved version.
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>flush</B> [<I>cellname</I>] [<B>-dereference</B>]<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>cellname</I> is the name of a cell definition to be
flushed.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>flush</B> command reverts a cell definition to the last
version saved to disk, forgetting all changes made in the
interim. Without arguments, the current edit cell is flushed.
Otherwise, the named cell is flushed. <P>
The effects of the <B>flush</B> command are irrevocable; the
command cannot be undone with an <B>undo</B> command. <P>
With the <B>-dereference</B> option, any file path that has been
associated with the cell is discarded, and the cell is reloaded
from the first location found in the search path. With search
path manipulations, this can be used, for example, to switch
between abstract and full views of a cell.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>flush</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
However, it conflicts with the Tcl <B>flush</B> command that
flushes an output pipe. Special processing determines which use
is intended.
