General help

Well, it's only reasonable that if I learn the answers to my own questions, I post them here.
I've found no other way than to backup and restore - but one can make pretty short order of that if done properly. A few tips:

The backup page has everything set to on. If you want only a few items, easiest to turn all off first, by just using tab, tab, down arrow, tab tab down arrow, etc... Then just turn on those you want.

Ideally, future enhancements would have a "turn all off/on option) to make this easier. Also, it was not entirely clear to me until I finished, but you can limit the user info when you restore.

Useful also to make sure the TARGET course has at least as many sections as the SOURCE - otherwise all things beyond the max section get put at the top. You may want this...
