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.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>type</I> may be one of the following:
<DL>
<DT> <B>layout</B>
<DD> Open a layout window. Equivalent to the
<B>openwindow</B> command.
<DT> <B>wind3d</B> <I>tk_path_name</I>
<DD> Generate the 3D window. Only available when using
OpenGL graphics ("<B>magic -d OGL</B>"). The

<DD> Open a window allowing interactive definition of
netlists.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>specialopen</B> command opens one of several special-purpose
windows known to <B>magic</B>, as well as the default layout window.
Each window has a set of commands associated with it. The layout
window commands are listed in this reference guide along with the
general-purpose commands, because the layout window is the most
common type. For the command sets of the other special-purpose
windows, see the sections on the colormap, netlist, and 3D
rendering.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>specialopen</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.
