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.

[<B>child</B> <I>child_refpoint</I>]
[<B>parent</B> <I>parent_refpoint</I>]
<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>cell</I> is the name of the cell whose contents are to
be copied, and optional <I>child_refpoint</I> and
<I>parent_refpoint</I> are coordinate pairs of <I>x y</I> values,
or keywords <B>ll</B>, <B>lr</B>, <B>ul</B>, or <B>ur</B>.
The optional <I>orientation</I> may be any valid orientation
(flip or rotation), such as <B>h</B>, <B>v</B>, <B>90</B>,
<B>180</B>, or <B>270</B>.
The syntax and use of the orientation and reference points is the
same as for the <B>getcell</B> command.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>dump</B> command copies contents of the indicated cell
<I>cell</I> into the current edit cell. Without arguments,
the contents are placed such that the lower left coordinate
of <I>cell</I> is at the cursor box lower left corner. With
the <B>child</B> argument, the indicated coordinate position
<I>child_refpoint</I> is used instead of the lower-left corner.
With the <B>parent</B> argument, the indicated coordinate
position <I>parent_refpoint</I> is used instead of the lower-left
corner of the cursor box.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>dump</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
