Is it easier to upgrade from ver. 1.3.7.1 to ver. 1.5 directly or to upgrade to ver. 1.3.9 first?

If you need extra practice you can do it in multiple stages.
But it's not necessary. Follow the upgrade instructions.

Thanks, I can't believe how many files that need to be changed.

Hostmonster is my server. I don't believe I can make a trial site first. I've already made a list of the files that are different using winmerge. Can I just copy the changed and additional extracted files into my website? From there I would make the necessary template changes.

If you upgrade your live site directly, then if something goes wrong your store will be broken until you fix it. If you're confident that you can fix things quickly yourself or having your store "down" until you fix it doesn't bother you, then feel free.
We would recommend that you install it in a second database+folder for "staging" before actually upgrading the live site itself.

Sure you can. Hostmonster allows more than one MySQL database, which is all you really need for building a test site.
The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

Thank you, the folks at Hostmonster have been wonderful once I explained what I was trying to do.
Tell staff why this post should be reviewed.
