This brings the CVS repository up to date with the work Jay-Lynne has done,
*except* for the stuff on the DOCs screen, which as mentioned in the
meeting will require a bit of programming work.

Main Course Documents are the {}``top-level'' documents of your
course. They are the documents the the user will use the navigation
controls to move through, and makeup the course itself. When a user
enters the course they will be taken to the first resource listed in
the main course documents, and as they proceed forward through the
course, they will proceed towards the last resource. Main Course
documents also show up on the Navigate Course Content
screen. Manipulating main course documents and supplemental course
documents is essentially identical, except that main course documents
has some options that is not available in the supplemental
documents. Changes made to the main course documents, such as adding
new resources, changing the order, renaming or removing resources will
be visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
re-initializing button on the course document screen, whichever comes
first.

\textit{Note}: Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents do not
carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
documents that can be used in multiple courses, please ask your
LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
