Install some API

As a workaround for missing content-repository functionality, copy a provided file into the directory for Tcl files:

-    cp /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/packages/acs-core-docs/www/files/tutorial/note-procs.tcl /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/packages/myfirstpackage/tcl/

To make this file take effect, go to the APM and choose "Reload changed" for "MyFirstPackage".

Each user-visible page in your package has, typically, three parts. The tcl file holds the procedural logic for the page, including Tcl and database-independent SQL code, and does things like
