Commenting out parts of a .txm file

Hi,
I Hope I didn't post twice...had a problem in posting in General Midiox questions, so I tried again here....
i'd like to edit a .txm file (commenting out some entire lines and also inserting comments at the end of lines.
I think it works to use | (pipe) at the beginning of a line to make midiox ignore the line, though I do get an error message telling me that Midiox has a problem parsing the ASCII map. Though I get the error message, the txm file does load in successfully and the loaded file seems to be what I expect.
For comments, it seems I can just put in text at the end of the line, which Midiox ignores, presumably because it has read in the expected number of fields on a line and goes on to the next line.
Am I going to have any problems if I do this. I actually have a large number of .txm files I'd like to edit, and don't want to waste the time if this isn't acceptable practice.
Thanks,
Gabriel

If you look in the MIDI OX folder under Program Files, there's a folder called "Map" containing a file called "Example.txm". It appears that ";" is the intended line comment character.

Yeah, use ';' to mark a comment line -- everything after that is ignored.
