<h2>List of GSAS-II tutorials</H2><UL>

    <p> A list of available tutorials appears below. Each tutorial is a
    web page that can be opened using the link below, but most tutorials also need
    to have example data files downloaded. This can also be done with links included below, 
    but it can be easier to access tutorials using 
    <b>Help/Tutorials</b> menu item.
    When this menu entry is used from inside GSAS-II (unless "browse tutorial on web" is selected),
    the data files are downloaded to a local directory and GSAS-II will start from that directory
    for most file open commands.
