alice-teacher problems with saving on network drive

[A. Jeff Goldstein]

I can see that there may be issues with a network drive if the student
does not have rights to write to that drive.  In this case it's not the
fault of Alice.

I suggest writing to a Jump Drive that students bring to class.  That's
what we do and we've had no issues from that.  My $0.02.

Sincerely,

Jeff G.
