Comment (by cyndin):

 Thanks, jabecker.  But I haven't the faintest idea what to do with those
 files.  I know how to edit themes, as I can get right into the code from
 the dashboard.  But I can't alter WP code from there.  I could do it from
 emacs on my unix shell where WP is installed, but the files are all in a
 particular format with line numbers.  I can't cut and paste that.

 I suppose I am meant to download the files to my computer and then upload
 them to the WP directory (not sure where they go exactly).  But do I need
 to upload all of them?  Do they work together or are they separate?  Do I
 edit the old files or just outright replace them?  And won't this mean I
 can't upgrade WP again?  My ISP's upgrader barfs if I so much as download
 the latest version of a plugin...even if I get it to work, will I lose all
 my changes and have to do it again in a week or two when 2.5.1 comes out?

 I'm not a coder or a developer.  I'm pretty knowledgable about computers
 and web design but have never worked with php and css before (they are
 newer than when I learned this stuff).

 I appreciate that you have taken the time to write and upload these
 changes, but I don't know where to go from here.
