      <p>This helper will help you set up your new LON-CAPA course and choose
         which LON-CAPA features will be active in your course. You can 
         re-visit it later to change settings in your course.</p>

      <p><b>FIXME:</b> Figure out some way to detect whether this has been
         run, and change that paragraph appropriatly.</p>

      <p>If you have previous experience with coordinating LON-CAPA courses and
         prefer to use the in-course interface to change these settings, 
         <a href="/adm/navmaps">click here</a> to leave this helper.</p>

      <p>All settings you can change with this helper can also be changed while the
         course is running by going to the PARM screen and clicking on the &quot;Set
         course environment&quot; button.</p>

      <p>If you do not have experience coordinating LON-CAPA courses, or if you
         prefer the helper interface, please click <b>Next -&gt;</b>.</p>

      <p>LON-CAPA hosts discussions on all resources in a course. By default,
         all users are allowed to participate in these discussions.</p>

      <p>For more information about discussion and the abilities available
         to you as a course coordinator, such as banning abusive users or
         hiding discussion postings, please see <b>link</b>.</p>

      <p>If you do not wish certain classes of users to be able to use the 
         discussion features, select those classes below.</p>

      <p><b>Question: Does inability to use discussion mean they simply can't
            post, or that they can't see the discussion at all?</b></p>
