 inor feature request.Can the configuration (command) line assume tht any
line starting with a pound sign  is a comment?
 This would be useful for several reasons. I don't think it is necessary to
allow comments anywhere in a line like most other shells, just at the front.
.
Under Linux/Unix, if you place a line like '#!/usr/bin/vax' at the start of
the script, and mark the script as executable (chmod +x        myvax), you
can start the simultor ssimply by eecuting the script './myvax'. This works
right now, but it displays an error message about that first line.

It would also be nice to be able to leave notes/reminders in the scripts
telling what the script is about or what it is doing at a specific point.

It would also be nice for disabling sections of the script emporarely while
debugging things. This might be doable with an 'if' statement, but for
quick games the '#' is nice.
