Downloading modules

Downloading a known package (example HTML_QuickForm) A) Click on Package Management - Opens management page. Scroll down page to Quick-install a package Enter package name HTML_QuickForm Click Install
After a short time the package is installed. Note the Warnings! We know this is an older package but want to use it anyway.
A) Click on Package Management - Opens management page. New Installed packages are listed. Although we intended to only download and install a single package, two were installed. The package HTML_QuickForm will not function without package HTML_Common; it depends on this being in place. In other words, when installing a package, all dependencies that do not exist are also installed.
