Help: A start to the help documentation for the file browser

<p>The IVLE <strong>File Browser</strong> is your way to access and edit your 
2
files stored in IVLE</p>
3
<h2>Getting Started with File Browser</h2>
4
<h3>Navigating</h3>
5
<p>The Filebrowser works very much like most other file browsers. When you open 
6
the file browser you will be faced with a series of icons representing the 
7
directories (the 'folder' icon) and files (the 'paper' icons) in your home 
8
directory.  Clicking on the name of a directory will open the directory while 
9
clicking the line or icon of a directory or file will mearly select it.  
10
Multiple directories or files may be selected by clicking the checkbox in the 
11
far left column. You can also browse up to a higher level directory by clicking 
12
the required folder in the breadcrumb trail near the top of the window.</p>
13
<h3>Adding Directories or Files</h3>
14
<p>To create a new directory or file, open the <emph>More actions...</emph> 
15
drop down box and select either <emph>New Directory</emph> or <emph>New 
16
File</emph> under Directory actions.  A pop up box will appear asking for the 
17
name of the new file. Enter the name and the file will appear in the current 
18
directory. Another way is by <a href="#uploadingFiles">Uploading Files</a> from 
19
your local computer.</p>
20
<h3>Editing Files</h3>
21
<p>To edit a file in the text editor, click the name of the file you wish to 
22
edit in the file browser and then click <emph>Open</emph>. This will then open 
23
the file in the Text Editor screen. When finished editing the selected file 
24
click <emph>Save</emph> button to save the file to IVLE.</p>
25
<h3>Deleting Directories or Files</h3>
26
<p>To delete a directory or file, open the <emph>More actions...</emph> drop 
27
down box and click <emph>Delete</emph> under File actions. A pop-up window will 
28
appear to confirm that you really wish to delete the file.</p>
