Tim Edwards a816da60f9 Updated the HTML command reference files to refer to magic version 8.3,
since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still
said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

Valid distance specifications in magic.
<HR>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Distances are normally interpreted as <I>lambda</I> values. However,
this depends on the last use of the <B>snap</B> command; <B>snap
internal</B> changes the interpretation of units to the internal
grid, while <B>snap user</B> changes the interpretation of units to
the user grid. Distances may always be explicitly called out by
appending one of the following to the distance value (with no
intervening whitespace):
<DL>
<DT> <B>i</B>
<DD> internal units
<DT> <B>l</B>
<DD> lambda units
<DT> <B>um</B>
<DD> microns
<DT> <B>mm</B>
<DD> millimeters
<DT> <B>cu</B>
<DD> centimicrons
</DL>
In any case where the internal grid is finer than the declared
distance measure, fractional distances may be specified; e.g.,
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>box move e 1.25um</B>
