\usage{
dump(list, fileout="dumpdata")
}

\value{
This function takes a list names of \R objects and produces
text representations of the objects in the
given file.
At present the implementation of \code{dump} is very
incomplete and it really only works for functions and
simple vectors.

The function save is designed to be used for
transporting \R data between machines.
