_V_a_l_u_e:

     This function takes a list names of R objects and pro-
     duces text representations of the objects in the given
     file.  At present the implementation of `dump' is very
     incomplete and it really only works for functions and
     simple vectors.

     The function save is designed to be used for transport-
     ing R data between machines.

     x <- 1; y <- 1:10
     dump(ls(patt='^[xyz]'), "xyz.Rdmped")
