Yes it would overwite - you could always make a backup copy and just update it everytime you upgrade...

We will define system wide rules, but we want users to be able to override them, and want to make it as easy as possible for them. If we put larger, more clear comments in the template file, it will make it easier for them to follow and understand, which makes my job easier :) -Steve On Thu, 23 May 2002, Justin Robinson wrote: > Why do you want to modify that one anyway?
