-=head1 INTRODUCTION
-
-Common collection of used subroutines.  This collection helps remove
+A collection of commonly used subroutines that don't have a natural
+home anywhere else. This collection helps remove
 redundancy from other modules and increase efficiency of memory usage.
 
-Current things done:
-
- Makes a table out of the previous homework attempts
- Inputs result_from_symbread, user, domain, course_id
- Reads in non-network-related .tab files

+This and the next function allow you to create small sections of an

+Javascript, even in Netscape 4.
+
+The Javascript fragment returned by this function (no E<lt>scriptE<gt> tag)
+must be written to the HTML page once. It will prove the Javascript
+function "change(name, content)". Calling the change function with the
+name of the section 
+you want to update, matching the name passed to C<changable_area>, and
+the new content you want to put in there, will put the content into
+that area.
+
+B<Note>: Netscape 4 only reserves enough space for the changable area
+to contain room for the original contents. You need to "make space"
+for whatever changes you wish to make, and be B<sure> to check your
+code in Netscape 4. This feature in Netscape 4 is B<not> powerful;
+it's adequate for updating a one-line status display, but little more.
+This script will set the space to 100% width, so you only need to
+worry about height in Netscape 4.

+
+Retrieves default quota assigned for storage of user portfolio files,
+given an (optional) user's institutional status.
+
+Incoming parameters:
+1. domain
+2. (Optional) institutional status(es).  This is a : separated list of 
+   status types (e.g., faculty, staff, student etc.)
+   which apply to the user for whom the default is being retrieved.
+   If the institutional status string in undefined, the domain
+   default quota will be returned. 
+
+Returns:
+1. Default disk quota (in Mb) for user portfolios in the domain.
+2. (Optional) institutional type which determined the value of the
+   default quota.
+
+If a value has been stored in the domain's configuration db,
+it will return that, otherwise it returns 20 (for backwards 
+compatibility with domains which have not set up a configuration
+db file; the original statically defined portfolio quota was 20 Mb). 
+
+If the user's status includes multiple types (e.g., staff and student),
+the largest default quota which applies to the user determines the
