Ahh, ok.. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
We're getting into unofficial and undocumented territory here (I hope Dave doesn't mind me posting this <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )..
You have a couple of options here.. You might want to consider creating your own template set (like JC created his - the JCTemplates).
The way the system works is you can create a subdirectory in the noncgi/Templates directory, say aswasTemplates. In there, you MUST have a public_common.pl, and then you can have any number of other replacement files. If a file doesn't exist, then the default is used.
I would strongly suggest taking copies of either the default or JC (depending on which design you prefer), customizing them, and then uploading them to the new directory. Also create a new style, based on either the standard or JC design, and use that. Make sure you're consistent. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Once you've got your own directory, you're pretty much safe from any upgrades since you're 99% guaranteed that there will never be an aswasTemplates in the stock distro (unless they include yours! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ).
OK, that's a start.. Let me know how it sounds or if you need more explanations. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
