Updates to the help, added new file.

    1: Main Course Documents are the {}``top-level'' documents of your course. They are the 
    2: documents the user will use the navigation controls to move through, and
    3: makeup the course itself. When a user enters the course they will be taken to 
    4: the first resource listed in the main course documents, and as they proceed 
    5: forward through the course, they will proceed towards the last resource. Main 
    6: Course documents also show up on the Navigate Course Content screen. Manipulating
    7: main course documents and supplemental course documents is essentially identical, 
    8: except that main course documents has some options that is not available in the
    9: supplemental documents.What are Supplemental Course Documents?
   10: Changes made to the main course documents, such as adding new resources, changing the order, 
   11: renaming or removing resources will be visible the next time you log in, or by 
   12: clicking the re-initialize button on the course document screen, whichever comes 
   13: first. Main Course Documents was added to LON-CAPA in 2003, so courses pre-dated
   14: 2003, or deliberately created in the old style by the Domain Coordinator will not
   15: have Main Course Documents.
   16: 
   17: \textbf{Note}: Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents do not
   18: carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
   19: documents that can be used in multiple courses, please ask your
   20: LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
