Simple Question about Upgrades

I am working on a WC2 map conversion to WC3 and have a simple question.

I looked through the entire editer and FAQ here on the boards and did not find the answer, so here goes, I hope I dont sound like a noob. =)

Is it possable to rename/redefine upgrades with new values? What about create new ones?

Thanks. =)

An added thought -
Even more specifially, how am I able to change the pre-requesists for an upgrade or unit? Thanks. =)

Make a new custom unit with the icon you want for the upgrade, and the cost build time, etc. you want. Make this unit buildable at whatever building makes the upgrade. Then detect when the unit is made, remove the unit, and apply the upgrade. Looks like the player just upgraded. Only thing bad is that the player could que the upgrade, although you can ge around this by disabling the ability to make the unit after the first one is finished building.

Thanks.

I guess this means that to rename even a simple upgrade even if I want to keep all the other values the same, I have to go through that whole process.

*sigh*

*grumbles* StarEdit had a damn upgrade editor, why is there no Upgrade Module like there is a Unit Module? Somebody should mod WE and make one. ;)
