added code for going back to the record page

	Note that you must define the atkselector key--if you don't, the edit link will (silently) produce an edit page of the first row in the associated table, which probably isn't what you want. You also need to explicitly set the selector: setting it to "[pk]" doesn't work, because it gets encoded.

added section on overrideing existing actions

@@ Line 72: / Line 72: @@
 Now we need to put the icon (showhelloworld.gif) in the directory structure we just created (modules/worlds/themes/default/icons/recordlist/).<br />
 And finally, all we need to do is throw away the theme cache (as user with appropriate rights or root user in the application root 'rm -vf atktmp/themes/*') and voila!
