        This function takes a vector of names of R objects and
        produces text representations of the objects in the
        file `fileout'.  This file, can be `source'd into
        another R (or S) session.

        dump(list, fileout="dumpdata")

   DDeettaaiillss::

        At present the implementation of `dump' is very incom-
        plete and it really only works for functions and simple
        vectors.

        The function `save' is designed to be used for trans-
        porting R data between machines.
