Tim Edwards 09577b5636 Updated all of the documentation by copying back from the website.
The website documentation now points to these contents in a clone
of the repository on opencircuitdesign.com, so all future edits of
the command-line documentation will be made directly to the git
repository.  Also:  Changed the precision of box values printed in
microns from 2 to 3 digits after the decimal place, so that 5 nanometer
grids do not get values clipped in the output.

<H2>pushbutton</H2>
<HR>
Emulate a mouse button event.
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>pushbutton</B> <I>button action</I> <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>button</I> is one of <B>left</B>, <B>middle</B>, or
<B>right</B>, and <I>action</I> is is one of <B>up</B> or
<B>down</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>pushbutton</B> command is a way of invoking the actions
associated with mouse buttons from the command-line, or from
a Tcl script.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>pushbutton</B> is implemented as a built-in window command
in <B>magic</B>. However, it is functionally equivalent to
calling the Tk function <B>event generate</B>.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Bugs:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
This is all backwards! There should be commands implemented to
generate the actions that are caused by button pushes in each
tool, and these commands should be bound to the button events.
Presumably the existing setup is a holdover from pre-X11 days.
