Thanks to all who responded. Apparently and actually, what I needed
to know was stuck in the restore man page in a spot that I had
overlooked before. There is one sentence there, to be sure, and it
is not one of the first few in the page, nor is it given near any
of the restore options. Oh well. Enough whining.
Restore restores relative to the current working directory. So if I did a
dump of filesystem /x, and I wanted to get file /x/y/z into /newroot/x/y/z,
then I need to 1) cd to /newroot ; 2) restore -i (for interactive mode);
3) add y/z and extract.
Thanks again,
