1) Is there anyplace in the documentation where one can find all the 'standard packages' listed together in one place like they were in the 5.2 Help Browser?
2) Is there anyplace in the documentation that tell how to construct the new style documentation, how to get a documentation style sheet, where to put the documentation, and how to make sure that users have access to it?

I have found it useful to go directly to some of the folders for documentation on a particular package. For instance, (on a Windows Ver. 6 machine), documentation (Guides and Tutorials) can be found on the StatisticalPlots Package at

I don't believe so.
If all that is desired is a list of the standard packages that can be obtained with
here is some code that "improves" upon the other code in these postings. I have put a notebook linked to the WorkLife FrameWork blog from a posting on this at:
One comment--the use of Quiet in this is to surprss some no context messages that are generated because the contexts of many of these packages do not reflect the directrly structure that they exist in. So the packages, I beleive, load properly, but the contexts that they end up existing in are not the same as those of the artument to the Needs statements that load them.
Here's he code (I am sure that it can be further improved upon-- remember of course that this is intended for Mathematica 6), I hope that it is useful...
ClearAll[StandardPackagesPalette];
StandardPackagesPalette::usage = "StandardPackagesPalette[], generates a palette of pull-down menus that allow you to load the standard packages. StandardPackagesPalette[\"LegacyPackages\"] does the same for those legacy packages that are included in the Mathematica distribution. Similarly for StandardPackagesPalette[\"ExtraPackages \"]. ";

I added Saveable->True as an option in the CreatePalette function below, but still after I create the palette and close it, I do NOT get a prompt to save it. So how do I save it as a palette??

It turns out that the notebook needs to "think" that it has been altered in order for it to prompt you to save lt. One trivial way to ahve this happen is to move the palette's position (this changes some internal optoins that specify its position). Then clicking on the close field (not the "Close" botton which doesn't care) will bring up the file save dialog.
Another way is to execute
nb = StandardPackagesPalette[]
and then execute
NotebookSave[nb]
which also will bring up the save dialog.
If, once this has been done, you wish for the palette to remember where it was the last time you opened it, you should add the option
ClosingAutoSave->True
to the code as well.
