I have made a few customizations that I did not want to lose.  I don't 
know enough about where the customizations are stored save them before 
uninstalling.

Well, when I couldn't find an answer in the readme, install guide or 
web site, I decided to give it a try.  (my paranoia comes from the days 
when HD space and RAM were more precious, and I hate having things 
installed and possibly running that I have no intention of using)  I 
ran the install script.  Chose the existing directories to install to.  
It prompted me to overwrite files.  I took the time to answer each 
question (rather than a "yes to all") and overwrote all files that had 
a 1.0 modified date (4/29/02) and kept the old versions of any files 
that had a recent modified date.  So far, this seems to have worked 
fine.  All of my Autotexts, etc., even my recent MRU files list were 
preserved, yet the update seems to have succeeded.

BTW, printing now working.
