From the instructions:

Upgrading from a previous version of vBulletin 3

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.
Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.
Open your browser and point the URL to http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.

-------

The blue line.... open that file in a text editor and do what? It says to open it but there is no further reference to it.

Or am I not understanding?

Unless you are upgrading from a version older then 3.5, you can also re-use your old config.php. If you are starting with a fresh copy, then you will need to edit the file and provide your database access information.

Ok I will just leave the old one there but is that instruction missing something?
