Thanks, Wayne.

I manually removed the ij.jar in my /Applications/ImageJ directory,  
then did the upgrade successfully.  I gather from the docs that the  
ij.jar is supposed top reside there - but after the upgrade there is  
no ij.jar in the directory and ImageJ fires up with the upgraded  
version.  I do see the ij.jar inside the ImageJ.app/resources/Java  
directory... something I thought no longer done as of v1.35. So I am  
confused but blissful since it works!

Cheers,
Ben
