Greetings,
  A fellow list member (Joe) just guided me through this process. After
I was done I found this
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/6446/freshstart.html
  It is an extremely simple process. Take your time, think things
through, and like Joe told me...if you get backed in a corner, use the
"Esc" button!
  Can't help you with the other two questions though. Sorry.

Cheers,
Kelly
