CKeditor 3.4 Installation FYI with Zen cart 1.3.xxx

Just posting to possibly help others with the mistake I made.
I am new to ZenCart and started with a fresh installation of 1.3.9d and then attempted to add CKeditor 3.4 and could not get it to work. I asked for help and no one had an answer.
Here it is.
If you start with a fresh install of ZenCart 1.3.9d, there is a version of CKeditor already installed but does not show up in text edit area.

This means that a new installation of CKeditor on 1.3.9d is an upgrade, even if it is the first thing you ever do to your ZenCart. So just follow the simple directions for an upgrade and copy only two file folders to the ZenCart root directory. The 2 file folders are admin, and editors. Then follow the (recommended) instruction about selecting CKeditor as your default editor.
(note) I don't know what version of ZenCart first had CKeditor included.

What you have posted is incorrect. Zen Cart 1.3.9 comes with an editor called "htmlarea". The CKEditor is not included; it must be added. All you should have to do is copy the files in editors directly into your "editors" directory, and the files in admin into your (renamed) admin directory.

And, FYI ... v1.3.9d is not the most recent version of Zen Cart. If you're just starting a new site, it's best to start with the latest version.

I only installed two file folders. Admin and Editors into the Zencart root directory. That's all I did. Works fine.

My provider is InMotionHosting.com and they have Fantastico. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Thanks,
