 you WILL LOSE DATA, as everything in those directories comes from
 somewhere else.
+
+When you run 'update_DVD_images.py <jurisdiction>', the following happens:
+1. The <jurisdiction> directory is deleted.
+2. Selected files are copied from the jurisdiction working directory into
+   a new DVD jurisdiction directory.
+3. All files/directories under the 'extra_files' directory are copied to the 
+   new DVD jurisdiction directory, unless it's a directory and it has a
+   jurisdiction name.
+4. Any directory under 'extra_files' that has a jurisdiction name is copied
+   to the root of the DVD jurisdiction directory *if* the jursidiction
+   name matches the name of the directory.  Note that this includes a jurisdiction
+   'project' directory containing modified versions of project.py, etc, that
+   must be changed on the DVD.

 The '-D' option allows 'deep' directories, the standard 6 isn't enough.
