Hello,
One thing that makes the manual merge easier is put all the personal scripts
in their own little block, and a comment line noting any default script or
function modified.
; **My scripts start here**
; Added AutoRoute variable to Global and AutoStart.
; Added Beep command to FocusChangedEvent.
; Modified "Wait" to "PleaseWait" and "Arrow" to "Ready"
; within ConvertCursorShape...
; Added SayLine to Invisible/JawsCursors
; Added SayLine to PcCursor.
; Modified Jaws/Invisible to autoroute to Pc.
; Modified MenuModeEvent --removed DownArrow on StartMenu.
; Removed Verbosity check from TopOfFile and BottomOfFile.
;
CopyTextFromScreen
SerialNumberAndPasswordMenu
ChangePunctuation
ChangeNumbersMode
DeleteLine
TestOptValue
TextFormatToggle
UniversalPrintDate
ChangeSynthesizer
.

.
; **My scripts stop here!**
Tedious all get-out, but it does work!
