Interesting thought, however - and I may be alone in this behavior - I 
never use the built-in editors.  Might have something to do with the 
hundreds of dollars I have wasted on editors.  I suppose that my 
inclination is to warn anyone that it might be overwritten on upgrade, 
but let them do it if they insist.
