Wire everything up as indicated by the manufacturer, if there is no ground wire then install a ground wire using the back screws inside of the box. Follow their instructions and you'll be fine.

I think I should just bite the bullet and call someone? The three I want to replace are on a dimmer and they require the neutral. If it isn't obvious by these questions, what I know about electricity could fill a thimble (maybe)! I just figured that I would pull the old ones out, put the wires in the same place and it would be quick and painless.
