Pulling updates from help.loncapa.org.

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.

    1: Supplemental Course Documents are auxiliary file the course
    2: coordinator wants the student to have access to that are not
    3: necessarily part of the course, such as reference material, handouts,
    4: ect. This is also useful for files that may not be directly viewable
    5: or usable in a browser, such as PowerPoint pesentations and word
    6: documents. Supplemental documents differ in how the material is
    7: presented to the student. The student will not see the supplemental
    8: documents unless they click DOCS on the remote control. Manipulating
    9: supplemental course documents is essentially identical to main course
   10: documents, except that main course documents has some options that is
   11: not available in the supplemental documents. Specifically, you cannot
   12: add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page, a
   13: \textbf{Simple Page}, or \textbf{Bulletin Board} since those should be
   14: in the course sequence. Like the Main Course Documents, you can still
   15: add a \textbf{New Folder} (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}), add an
   16: \textbf{External Resource} (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), add
   17: a \textbf{Syllabus} (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}), or add your
   18: \textbf{My Personal Info} page (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).
   19: 
   20: Changes made to supplemental course documents, such as adding new
   21: resources, changing the order, renaming or removing resources will be
   22: visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
   23: \textbf{re-initializing course} button on the course document screen, whichever
   24: comes first.
   25: 
   26: Note: Main Course Documents and Supplemental Course Documents do not
   27: carry over from one course to another. If you would like to create
   28: documents that can be used in multiple courses, please ask you
   29: LON-CAPA Domain Coordinator about becoming an Author.
