Subject: porting an object between MOOs

Maybe I didn't phrase this question well before....

What is the best way to port objects between MOOs?
I want to restore something I recycled by accident from an old db file.
I'm really tempted to bring the MOO down for a couple minutes
and edit the database file directly, but my common sense tells
me that's not a good idea!  :-)

Do I need to just examine the object and hand copy it, one 
verb at a time?  Is there a better way?

The @dump command will do most of the work for you; type `help @dump' for
details.  It will print out a list of commands to recreate the object.  You
somehow capture those commands and then replay them into the new MOO.  You'll
want to check them over before just dumping them into the new MOO; they usually
need a small amount of hand editing.
