Tim Edwards 3890181ebe Completed the small set of command extensions to make sure all
commands that make use of the pointer position have an equivalent
command that operates solely on layout coordinates, or otherwise
avoids needing a pointer position.  Added the command option
"down <instance>" to avoid using the pointer to disambiguate
selections.  Added the command option "select ... at x y" to
do paint or cell selections at a specific coordinate instead of
the pointer position.

<HR>
Load selected or indicated cell into a window
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>down</B> [<I>instance</I>]
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
With no arguments, the <B>down</B> command loads the currently
selected cell into the window. If more than one cell is selected,
the one closest to the cursor (pointer) position will be used, or at
worst, one will be selected arbitrarily. <BR><BR>
With one argument <I>instance</I>, the cell of the instance named
<I>instance</I> will be loaded into the window.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>down</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.
In the Tcl version of magic, it is generally deprecated in favor of
the scripted Tcl procedure <B>pushstack</B>, and the "tools" script
implementation of the "<B>&gt;</B>" macro to invoke <B>pushstack</B>
on a selected cell.
