Edited a bunch of help files and added many new ones so the cc manual no contains everything that my Training Guide contains. Next step is to edit the files for readability and consistancy in format.

    1: \label{Docs_Overview}A LON-CAPA course is managed through
    2: the \textbf{Course Documents} screen, accessed by selecting \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu. This screen allows you to arrange LON-CAPA resources from
    3: the LON-CAPA network, and create several resources for use in your course. 
    4: 
    5: \textbf{Main Course Documents} make up the course itself and are the ones the student will use the navigation
    6: controls to move through. Main Course Documents
    7: show up on the \textbf{Navigate Course Contents} screen. Main Course Documents were added to
    8: LON-CAPA in 2003, so courses pre-dating 2003 or deliberately created in
    9: the old style by the Domain Coordinator will not have Main Course Documents.
   10: 
   11: \textbf{Supplemental Course Documents} are attached to the course, but do
   12: not appear in the main course sequence. Students access these documents by
   13: selecting \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu. Supplemental Course Documents
   14: are particularly useful for auxiliary files that may not be directly viewable
   15: or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint presentations or Word documents,
   16: which may not work on all students' computers.
   17: 
   18: Manipulating the two types of Course Documents are essentially identical,
   19: except that the Main Course Documents have some options which are not available
   20: to the Supplemental Course Documents, as they do not make sense there.
   21: 
   22: NOTE: These capabilities are provided to allow instructors to extend
   23: already existing courses, or personalize courses with their own syllabi
   24: or information pages. Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents
   25: do not carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
   26: documents that can be used in multiple courses, please talk to your LON-CAPA
   27: Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author, which will open the full power
   28: of the Author role to you. For more information about what that means, see
   29: the LON-CAPA Author's Manual, which is available online at \underbar{http://help.lon-capa.org}.
