[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.
