Double thanks, Bryan!

If I'm really this right (nice documentation, too, btw), adding
pages/properties will add the new item to the tutorial for all users as
part of the system-wide tutorial.  Would it be possible to create an
entirely separate tutorial that is only visible to individuals upon
visiting a particular site?  We're specifically wanting to orient new
students to their customized program and course sites, but they would need
to be different tutorial for every program (they all have different tools
and functions) and be triggered on first visit to that site, rather than
first visit to the system.

Thanks,
Katie
