chapter
argument is returned invisibly.
If
chapter
is a directory, the files are
dumped there. Otherwise, a subdirectory of the working chapter
(the chapter in position 1 of the search list) is created
(a message is printed telling you the name of the directory) and files
are written there. One consequence of this is that the system databases,
which are normally installed read-only, cannot be dumped via
dumpChapter
.
