New installation over 4X

Howdy,
I finally got around to upgrading to 5.3.1. Looks good. Here is a tip for some:
The instructions say to install in the default folder. I had installed 4 in a custom location in a file named Textpad4.
So confusion. First I installed in a new folder Textpad. It installed fine, but did not pick up my settings. So I uninstalled, and, now that Textpad 4 was gone anyway, renamed the Textpad4 folder to simply Textpad and re-installed.
That picked up the settings.
Then I had to go around and put the various clip libraries and macros that I had in several different folders into the new C:/Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Helios/Textpad/5.0/
It was also necessary to re-set the 'view in web browser' settings to route through my desktop server.
