[LON-CAPA-users] multipart problem in test

[Nathan Schoenack]

I needed to know because I'm scared of the unknown.  So far we've  
only done single-part problems on our tests and I wanted to know what  
would happen before I tried it for myself.  I'm a coward, OK?  You  
made me say it.  Are you happy now?

Thanks Gerd! :)
