Thanks for the advice Dr. G.
I have decided to replace the thermostat and have purchased a new digital 
one.  I need help in figuring the correct way to wire it.  The old Honeywell 
thermostat was a cooling only thermostat and has four wires.  They are:
Red - connected to the R terminal
Green- connected to the G1 terminal
Black- connected to the G2 terminal
Brown- connected to the Y terminal

the new thermostat is for heating and cooling but says it's adaptable to 97 
% of all thermostats.  Its terminals are:
C
RC
O
B
RH (there is a red jumper wire between this and RC)
W
Y
G

Any ideas on how to hook it up?
