[instructions on using new permission objects deleted]

The new permission scheme makes sense, and I think it
is nice and consistent... But, there are a couple
things that I'm not sure are working as they should.

1) Am I correct in assuming that if something is
listed as an "inherited permission", then that should
be available in the Define Permissions tab for use?
eg. "Access contents information" is an inherited
permission. I should be able to select "Access
contents information" from the drop down for the
"Access contents information" permission mapping,
right? For some reason that's not listed though...

2) Interestingly enough, ZClasses within ZClasses seem
to behave more as I would expect them to (listing the
permissions I would expect them to). However, I find
that I get a "waaa" error sometimes when I try to
change the permissions.
