Gary,
Precisely. Why are the FS techs so ready to pounce on the merge utility as a
source of problems - you've answered it.
I would note for the benefit of those wanting to do a simple copy...be most
wary of copying any .JSS, .JSB, .JGF, and .JCF files. Those seem to be the ones
most likely to cause problems.
Gary's advice to copy one group at a time is very sensible.
Also if you are having problems, I find that using the JAWS/Options/Manage
Applications dialog helpful. There you can pick-and-choose which script sets
are active, so as to help in finding troublesome scripts.

The Merge Utility is fine if it works properly. However, every time I have
had a problem with a new version of JFW, FS Tech Support has asked me if I
merged my settings from the old version. That tells me that they consider the
Merge Utility to be a possible source of problems.
If I want a file from the old version such as the Dictionary, I just copy it
over into my User folder. Other Personal Settings files can be copied over in
the same way. If you copy these files over to the new version one at a time,
and you start having trouble, you will have a clue to what may be causing the
problem.

Subject: Upgrading from V11 to V12
Just installed V12 on my computer and am wondering if there's a way to
move my configuration from V11 to V12 (dictionary settings, placemarks, etc.)
or if I have to do it all over again from the beginning. Guessing there must
be some way to do this, but I don't know what it is. If you can help I'd
appreciate it very much. Thank you in advance.
