Help with Merging PHP Code

[Johnnycopilot]

mc12345678, ok I think I get it. Tell me if this is it.. When I 'merge' the files, I want to take the code from the Responsive DIY, in every instance that has the same SAME BOF 'name' as my Abagon template, and replace EVERYTHING between the BOF and EOF with the [Responsive DIY code... and ADD any files that say <!--(BOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->?? For example

<!--// bof: <Anything here that is exact in both files> //-->


replace the code in my Abagon template that is HERE with the code in the Responsive DIY code, when the BOF name is the same in both files, no matter how much code, right?

And ADD
<!--// bof: <Anything here that is exact in both files> //-->


<!--(BOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->
and ADD any code between these lines to existing abagon template file

<!--(EOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->
(Even though this particular file didn't have any <!--(BOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65) files in it)


Is that correct?
Based on that, I can do the tpl_box_default_right.php because it's similar. But, I am running into a problem with the other 3 pages. They are
(tpl_main_page.php, tpl_footer.php, tpl_header.php)

since my instructions are "Find all instances that look like this in the mentioned files:

<!--(BOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->
CODE
<!--(EOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->
and copy it to {your template} files

not sure exactly what do to here on the tpl_main_page.php page

"Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x" tpl_main_page.php
