  Log:
  - Eliminate discussion of Remote Control from General Intro help document,
    (By default, new LON-CAPA user accounts created in the past several  
     years have the remote control *not* set to be launched, but the inline  
     menu is used instead).
  - Add some image files for icons used in inline menu.
