_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     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.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     dump(list, fileout="dumpdata")

_D_e_t_a_i_l_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.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o_:

     `dput', `dget',`write'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s_:

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