/*    DID YOU KNOW?
/*
/*    You can also import comment files in the,
/*    Teachers Report Assistant format.
/*    There are 1000s around the web.
/*    School Report Writer automatically converts them.
/*
/*
/*    YOUR EXISTING COMMENTS ARE SAFE:
/*
/*    When you upload, you will be shown the comments
/*    you are about to import. You will be told if names
/*    are already in use and you can pick-&-click which
/*    comments to add to your comment bank.
/*
/*
/*    USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY:
/*
/*    Import files must be 'plain text'. The easiest way to
/*    create one is to download a comment file from our site
/*    and open it on your computer. On most systems it will
/*    automatically open in a plain text editor. If you
/*    make changes and save, the file should automatically be
/*    saved as plain text. On PCs it will usually open in
/*    NotePad. On Macs, usually TextEdit. In Word, and other
/*    word processors, use 'save as' (see Word File menu)
/*    and then choose file type: 'text only/plain text'.
/*
/*
/*    ADDING HELPFUL NOTES:
/*
/*    Lines starting /* are for notes (like this line).
/*    They are ignored when files are imported.
/*    You can add notes anywhere in the file. Blank lines
/*    are also ignored and can also be included anywhere.
/*
/*
/*    COMMENTS AND LISTS:
/*
/*    Files contain groups of comments and lists.
/*    Each group should start with either:
/*
/*    COMMENTS: your-comment-name-here
/*    or
/*    LIST: your-list-name-here
/*
/*    List names are 2-30 characters long and contain
/*    only letters, numbers, '&', hyphens and NO SPACES.
/*
/*    Comment names can include spaces, and any other
/*    characters except: < > \ # (max length 50).
/*
/*    Each group may include up to 20 numbered lines, e.g.
/*
/*    COMMENTS: Science Yr7 project work
/*    1= #N's work on #Science-topics was excellent.
