[LON-CAPA-users] Wipe out all discussions

Hi,
Just a concrete example of the course cross listing:

At Ohio we have multiple sections of
Physical Science 105 - Color, Light and Sound.

There are actually two courses listed on the books: psc105 and psc105L
Students in PSC105L are enrolled in a lab in addition to the lecture, 
which fulfills the lab requirement for some students.

All of these students do the same homework and are effectively in the same 
course. I list the main course as PSC105L with sections A01 through A08 
mapping to sections 1 through 8 and then crosslist psc105 to section 0.



Later,
Mark
