[Tutor] include remote module

[Patrick]

Hi Wayne

Thanks for your help. I was thinking of the latter but now that I think
of it, once you import a module it won't help to modify that module on
the fly later anyways, right?  I would need to re-import it. Sounds like
reading it via http would be simpler.

Thanks again-Patrick
