Initial configuration docs - release candidate

[Alan Jump]

I think I've massaged out all the problems that Arnie mentioned. I'd like some feedback, both positive and negative.

I stopped short of Unit and Facility setup in this section. Since Facilities are relatively static, should they be included here, or in the next part along with Unit setup? My own feeling is to put them in the next section, since both Units and Facilities are defined and positioned the same basic way. The difference is that defining and removing Units may be a fairly frequent operation, depending on how the system is put to use, while defining Facilities is going to be fairly static, almost "set and forget" except (maybe) for facility status. I'm open to ideas here.

I'm also keeping in mind that a new release may not be far off. That's the beauty of writing docs for an actively-developed project. Everything is subject to revision...especially revision schedules. :-)

Alan, that's coming along very very nicely.

Re Default Map: It's worth noting that this apples only if one plans to use the Internet option  (duh!) of YES or MAYBE.  Secondly, the Lookup city/state is there simply as a user convenience.   Users may pan/zoom the map as needed to get to the area's center.

Now re yr Units/Facilities question, you shd know I believe strongly in DRY, Don't Repeat Yourself.  Given that, and given further that Units and Facilities have a lot in common (in their setup if not  usage), you might devote some text and screen-shots to what they have in common, then get into where they differ.

Guys, say so if you see it differently.
