Write the Commands of a Target (`write`)
----------------------------------------

**write** [*target* [[*filename|**here**]]]

Use this to write the command portion of a target with `remake`s
internal variables expanded.  If a filename is given that is the file
where the expanded commands are written. If the filename is `here`
then it is not written to a file but output inside the debugger as
other debugger commands behave. And if no file name is given a
filename based on the target name is created.
