I believe that is the case. They have rewritten some of the scripts. As an example Microsoft Word I think now interacts with the document model directly and if you have a modified word script from an earlier version in your personal folder you will lose the new functionality or it may not work at all. So they can't give you a merge utility because it would break a lot of stuff.

From all I heard from FS on the podcast was that due to some key differences there will not be a merge utility in any version of JFW13 to allow u to merge JFW12 settings to JFW13.

Based on my offline communication with FS tech support as well as Eric's post earlier to this list you can try the following. the official word from FS rightfully is to do so at your own risk. So they are not to blame or held accountable if u do this and things act funky. having put FS off the hook here I will share with you that I've done the below steps to quickly move over all my JFW 12 settings to JFW13 with no issues so far. 1. Via the programs list on Windows go to JFW12 or JFW13 and further into the list there containing 'explore my settings', explore program files' and explore shared settings'. 2. On the side an FS bulletin on their website at URL below they say to ensure that the original JFW13 .jss, .jsm and .jsh files are held on to and not replaced by the .jss, .jsm and .jsh files of JFW12. http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.asp ?QC=1458 3. Well going back to step 1 above, you will find that the only place with all files for a huge list of applications with the above 3 extensions are all only to be found under the folder that comes up when u hit 'explore shared settings'. So don't mess with this at all. 4. So what I did was go to the folder with my JFW12 ENu folder via 'explore my settings' and simply copied it over to totally replace the JFW 13 ENU folder which again u get to via 'explore my settings'. With this process I didn't at all mess with the .jss,.jsm and .jsh files of JFW13 and yet immediately merged my JFW12 settings to JFW13. Give a a shot if you cant stand tedium like me and share your experiences.
