This isn't a problem... Is there any reason you can't consider "External
Methods" and "DTML" their own "packages?"  I mean, they're really part
of packages already (EM is built-in package, and DTML is part of OFS I
think).  So seems reasonable :-)

Honestly, since this is a web development system, why post it to the
list?  Why not make a quick table of contents and post that to the list,
with pointers to the location of the real thing?  Save some bandwidth.
