added description of user manuals

\label{Author_LON-CAPA_Introduction}

LON-CAPA is a web-based interface that helps to organize and present your
course website, deliver and manage problems, and manage student enrollment.
All author functions are done through a web browser (Netscape 4.x or higher,
a recent Mozilla, or IE 5+ required).

There are two user manuals for LON-CAPA, a course coordinator manual and author manual. Also, quick reference guides are available for both manuals at http://help.loncapa.org. This is the author manual used to create resources such as problems that can later be added to your course.

At this time, you should have:

\begin{itemize}
\item developed your objectives for your course. 
\item developed your problems for input into LON-CAPA and determined the appropriate
question formats. Examples for question formats are provided when inserting a problem.
\end{itemize}
