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.

\label{Grading Options}
Click PARM on the Remote Control or Main Menu.  Then click the \underbar{Course Environment} link.  Edit the course parameter variable \textbf{grading options\index{grading options}}. This course environment variable can take three values:
\begin{description}
\item{\bf\tt standard}: the points for every problem part are partial credit factor times weight
\begin{itemize}
\item no \underbar{detailed scores} link provided to students on the GRDS page
\item the GRDS page uses the word ''points''
\end{itemize}
\item{\bf\tt external}: grade information screens are hidden, usually because grades are calculated external to LON-CAPA
\begin{itemize}
\item no \underbar{detailed scores} link is provided to students on the GRDS page
\item the GRDS page does not use the word ''points,'' but rather shows the number of completed parts
\end{itemize}
\item{\bf\tt spreadsheet}: the full spreadsheet is used for grade calculations
\begin{itemize}
\item the \underbar{detailed scores} link is provided on the GRDS page
\item the GRDS page does not use the word ''points,'' but rather shows the number of completed parts
\end{itemize}
\end{description}
