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.

<H3>Shortcuts:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Key macro <B>c</B> implements the command <B>copy</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>copy</B> [<I>option</I>] <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>option</I> is one of the following:
<DL>
<DT> <A HREF=direction.html><I>direction</I></A>
[<A HREF=distance.html><I>distance</I></A>]
<DD> Copy the selection relative to the original
in the direction <I>direction</I> by an
amount <I>distance</I>.
<DT> <B>to</B> <I>x y</I>
<DD> Copy the selection to the coordinate location
specified by the coordinate pair <I>x y</I>.
</DL>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>copy</B> command creates a copy of the current selection.
Without arguments, the lower-left hand corner of the copied
selection is placed at the current cursor position (the X11
cursor, not the <B>magic</B> "cursor box"). With arguments
<I>direction</I> and <I>distance</I>, the new copy is placed
relative to the original in the indicated direction by the
indicated amount. The default distance is 1 unit (usually
lambda; see <A HREF=distance.html><I>distance</I></A> for
further explication).<P>
Note that usage <B>copy center</B> is useful to make a copy
in the current edit cell of a selection of paint and/or
subcells in a non-edit cell. With this use, the copy will
be generated directly on top of the original.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>copy</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>magic</B> command.
