Pulling updates from help.loncapa.org.
This brings the CVS repository up to date with the work Jay-Lynne has done,
*except* for the stuff on the DOCs screen, which as mentioned in the
meeting will require a bit of programming work.

-\label{Docs_Adding_Course_Doc}There are four ways you can add a new document
-to your course:
+\label{Docs_Adding_Course_Doc}
+To add Course content, log in to the course you want to add content to. On the
+remote control, click \textbf{DOCS} to display the \textbf{Course
+Document} screen.
+
+There are four ways you can add a new document to the course:
\begin{itemize}
+
\item Upload a document from your harddrive such as Powerpoint presentations or
PDF files (\ref{Docs_Uploading_From_Harddrive}),
\item Import a document from the LON-CAPA network (\ref{Docs_Importing_LON-CAPA_Resource}),
\item Add an external resource (\ref{Docs_Adding_External_Resource}), or
\item Create a document from a prepared template (\ref{Docs_Creating_From_Template}).
+
\end{itemize}
-You can also group documents into folders for structure (\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders})
-or add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page, which puts a resource into the course
-which will display the same screen the \textbf{NAV} displays. This can make
-a good first page for the course.
-
-Changes made to the Course Documents, such as changing the order or adding
-new resources, will be visible next time you \textbf{Re-Initialize} with the button
-that will appear on the DOCs screen, or next time you login, which ever comes first.
-So if you want to see the changes in the course itself, be sure to \textbf{Re-Initialize}
-first.
+
+You can also organize documents into folders for structure,
+(\ref{Docs_Adding_Folders}) or add a \textbf{Navigate Content} page,
+which creates a resource in the course that displays the Navigation
+Course Content screen.What is Navigate Course Content screen?
+This could make a good first page for a course.
+
+The resources are listed in the order they will be viewed. The first resource
+listed is the starting page a user will see when they access the course. To
+change the order of the resources, click on the blue up or down arrows next to
+resource you wish to move. Repeat this until you have all the resources in the
+order you want. You can also \textbf{Remove} or \textbf{Rename} a
+resource by clicking on the
+blue word next to the resource. Changes made to the course documents, such as
+changing the order, adding new resources, renaming or removing resources will
+be visible the next time you log in, or by clicking the
+\textbf{re-initializing course} button
+on the course document screen, whichever comes first.
