 * Does this folder get overwritten on updates?
 * If so is there anyway to create a permanent copy of a file that would not be?
 * I made some changes to default-constants.php to up the max-memory limits and 
   don’t want the changes to reset after every update.

 * Don’t edit core files.
 * Take a look at the comment at the top of default-constants.php.
 * > Defines constants and global variables that can be overridden, generally in
   > wp-config.php.
 * Define the memory limit constants in your wp-config.php file instead.

 * Okay, I did that instead. Admittedly I skipped reading the comments on the doc
   when I was trying to find the cause of my problem earlier. Thanks fonglh
