[svn-r2642] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: The documentation on how to dump attribute data was not complete enough. Some people got confused on the commandline syntax (you have to specify the "path" from the root group to the attribute to dump it). I put some examples in to show how to correctly dump attributes. Platforms tested: Viewed with Netscrape.
