I understand that files in the custom directory will overwrite the 
distributed versions.  That is what I am doing now.  My question relates 
to the scenario when I want to incorporate modifications made in the 
distributed version with my version contained in the custom directory.  My 
assumption is that the merging of these two versions is a manual process, 
but figured I would ask.  For example, I modified pos.pl so that the 
salesperson field is displayed and is selectable and placed my modified 
version in the custom directory.  If a newer distributed version of pos.pl 
comes out I want to be able to incorporate the newer distributed version 
with my modifications (assuming of course that my modifications don't 
conflict with the distributed version's modifications).
