Any files that you edit should then be saved into your custom directory.

Within the includes/templates/mytemplate you should have the following directories

includes/templates/mytemplate/template_info.php
includes/templates/mytemplate/common
includes/templates/mytemplate/css
includes/templates/mytemplate/images
includes/templates/mytemplate/templates

You can copy the changes you made in the includes/templates/classic into the appropriate directories in your custom directory
I got all that. BUT...

again, when I set the template to "custom" which is really what my template directory is named, the whole system crashes and the store front is nothing but blank space.

In addition, when I try to activate the links box at higher sort order than anything these, the links box plus what ever has a higher value in the sort order does not show. If I set the sort order to zero, nothing shows up. If I do that in the left column, the whole page is empty.

It's almost as if I need to start from the beginning with a clean installation of Zen-Cart, but that is an enourmous amount of work and would cause loss of all modifications I made so far.
