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.

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.
