You can change the default button in the "Replace existing <filename>?"
dialog to "Yes" yourself with ResEdit.  Simply open the System file,
locate the correct ALRT template and in the view as text mode, change
the default button from 1 to 2.  Save and you're all set.

Of course, this is a global, permanent change.  Every use of standard
file in every application will default to the overwrite case -- use it at 
your own risk.  I much prefer this default though and always change the 
dialog when I have to copy over a new System file.
