This is what I read in the jaws help system.

If JAWS 5.0 or later is installed on your computer, you can use the Merge 
Utility to import your settings. This utility imports all of your configuration
(.jcf) files, dictionary (.jdf) files, graphics (.jgf) files, schemes, sounds, 
PlaceMarkers, personalized Web settings, and voice settings from a previous
version of JAWS. Any script files you created that are not already included 
with JAWS are also imported. This allows you to retain many of your customized
settings when you upgrade to a later version.

Note: You cannot use the Merge Utility if you are running JAWS from a USB thumb 
drive.

This process does not import your JAWS startup preferences, braille settings, 
keyboard layout selection, or custom keyboard assignments. In addition, any
changes to script files included with JAWS are not imported.

Note: You may need to open your scripts in Script Manager and recompile them 
before using them with JAWS.

To import your settings from a previous version of JAWS, do the folowing:
list of 3 items
1. From the Utilities menu, choose Merge Manager. 
2. In the JAWS Version list, select the version of JAWS you want to import 
settings from. If the version of JAWS you want to use as the source is not in
the list, choose Browse to locate it. You can only merge settings from JAWS 5.0 
or later. 
3. Choose OK to import your settings. 
list end

  When you run the merge utility, does it change the JFW scripts which are 
already built into the latest version; or does it merely import scripts and 
settings you've added?

   

  Thanks.
