Not just "Startup lines" -- lines in ANY program! You "steer" around the
comment, using forward references:

This is code
This is a comment, can be multiple lines
This is code again

You can also stuff your comments at the end of the PM, by putting an  in
the program where it ends, and then commenting to heart's content. Just keep
total file size to under, say, 6-7Kb. Hell, you can do all sorts of things.
You can put comments in dummy Save/Gets, in LaBel names, in PRompts, pop them
to the command line -- whatever.
