Updates to a few files for the Course Instructor manual.

    1: \label{Course_Deleting}
    2: A course can not be ``deleted'' from a LON-CAPA server. Courses occupy
    3: very little storage space, and an inactive course is not a burden on
    4: the system. On the other hand, allowing data to be permanently deleted
    5: could lead to serious accidental data loss.
    6: 
    7: You \emph{can} expire the roles\index{roles, expiring} for all users in
    8: the course. For example, when you use \textbf{ENRL} or \textbf{CUSR}
    9: to put students, instructors, or course coordinators into a course,
   10: you can set an ending date for those roles. When the ending
   11: date\index{roles, end date} is reached, the role associated with the
   12: course will not be accessible to the user any more.
   13: 
   14: If you view the \textbf{ROLES} screen, you will see a checkbox at the
   15: top that allows you to display all roles. If you check that box and
   16: click the display button, you can see your current and expired roles,
   17: if any.
   18: 
   19: It is a good idea to get into the habit of setting end dates for all
   20: courses.
