Updates to the help, added new file.

\label{Docs_About_My_Personal_Info}

\textbf{My Personal Info} will add your personal information page, which
is the same across all LON-CAPA courses you may be an instructor for. This
is a place to provide a general introduction to yourself for your
students. My Personal Info will allow you to upload a photo into it.
On the editing screen, either type the path to the photo, or click the
\textbf{Browse...} button to select the file to upload, and then click the
\textbf{Upload} button. 

To create a My Personal Info using the template, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Click \textbf{DOCS} on the remote control.
\item At the \textbf{Course Document} screen, click \textbf{My
Personal Info} listed in the \textbf{Special documents} column.
\item Click \textbf{re-initialize course} to make changes active for the current session. 

Note: The file will appear in the main course document list, where the user
can move, rename, or remove it. If the user does not click re-initialize
course the changes will become active the next time the user logs in.

\item Click the link listed in main course documents.
\item At the Personal Information screen, fill out the various information.
\item Click \textbf{Store}.

\end{enumerate}

\textbf{Note}: The \textbf{My Personal Info} page is a special page in that it
belongs to you, not the course. Everywhere you insert that page will have the same
contents, and all changes made to one will propogate to all others. Bear
that in mind as you fill it in; since it may appear for multiple courses you 
may not wish to add course-specific information.
