+This and the next function allow you to create small sections of an
+otherwise static HTML page that you can update on the fly with
+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.

+=item * &get_course_users()
+
+Retrieves usernames:domains for users in the specified course
+with specific role(s), and access status. 
+
+Incoming parameters:
+1. course domain
+2. course number
+3. access status: users must have - either active, 
+previous, future, or all.
+4. reference to array of permissible roles
+5. reference to array of section restrictions (optional)
+6. reference to results object (hash of hashes).
+7. reference to optional userdata hash
+Keys of top level hash are roles.
+Keys of inner hashes are username:domain, with 
+values set to access type.
+Optional userdata hash returns an array with arguments in the 
+same order as loncoursedata::get_classlist() for student data.
+
+Entries for end, start, section and status are blank because
+of the possibility of multiple values for non-student roles.
