+% NEWCONNECTION makes a new managed repository connection.
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%
+% DESCRIPTION: NEWCONNECTION makes a new managed repository connection.
+%
+% CALL:        conn = rm.newConnection(pl);
+%              conn = rm.newConnection('hostname');
+%              conn = rm.newConnection('hostname', 'database');
+%              conn = rm.newConnection('hostname', 'database', 'username');
+%              conn = rm.newConnection('hostname', 'database', 'username', 'password');
+%
+% If all required connection fields are input, the connection will be
+% silently created and added to the manager. Otherwise, a connection dialog
+% will be presented and the resulting connection added to the manager.
