[support] Basic help getting started

[Bruce Whealton]

   I noticed something interesting.  The documentation was pointing out how incompatible 4.7 4.6, 4.5, and 4.4 are in terms of themes, and perhaps modules.  Fantatico is used for the installations of Drupal and it now installs Drupal 4.5 I think.  So, when the themes that I got that were 4.6 versions seemed to work, the idea that I was using the 4.6 version of the theme may have explained some few bugs or problems.  They seemed to work ok, but I guess that might explain some things.  I just noticed that the themes and modules have different versions that just won't work if paired with the wrong version of Drupal.  So, we don't have backwards compatibility with themes or modules, correct?

The functionality is built into Drupal 4.7.

It is not automatic, but you can create menu and submenu items like you are
asking about. First you have to make sure the Menu module is enabled in
admin/modules. Next go to admin/menu and go to town. You can add menu items
to the main Navigation menu, or add a separate menu. If you add a new menu,
you'll need to go to admin/block to show it.

Yes, that is correct.
