1.8     ! webbsuza    1: \label{Docs_Overview}A LON-CAPA course is managed through
        !             2: the \textbf{Course Documents} screen and accessed by selecting \textbf{DOCS} on the Remote Control or Main Menu. This screen allows you to create new resources and arrange LON-CAPA resources from

        !             4: 
        !             5: \textbf{Main Course Documents} make up the course itself. Stuents use the navigation 
        !             6: controls to move through the Main Course Documents. Main Course Documents are listed on
        !             7: the \textbf{Navigate Course Contents} screen. Main Course Documents were added to
        !             8: LON-CAPA in 2003, so pre-2003 courses (as well as courses deliberately created in

        !            16: which may not work on all students' computers.
