Load/Save Memory dialog should use "records" instead of "words" regarding the length to specify

      The Save memory dialog has the following text for the length specifier when saving the contents of memory to *.dat files:

      "Specify the number of memory words to read". 

      This is not really accurate since the actual result is it will save a number of records as specified in the Format field.

      For example, If the Format field is set to 32-bit Hex and the length specifier is set to 4, it will always save 4 32-bit records. This is true regardless if the device is a Cortex R (32-bit word) or F28x (16-bit word).

      Hence instead of "words", it should use "records" instead. With the size of the record depending on the Format specified.

      This also applies to other dialogs related to the Memory Load/Save utility.
