[LON-CAPA-users] Creating Sections

I had a question about assigning TA's to sections.  This may have been a 
bug, but I have not found it.  So, please correct me.  I gave TA's 
multiple sections, but when I look at them as course coordinator, I only 
see the highest section listed for that TA in the cusr. 
That's not bad, but when I went to change sections for the TA's, I could 
not remove a section without removing all sections and then readding 
them.   It seems really awkward.
Does this sound goofy?
