thank you, I didn&#39;t know about that. I thought comments were always stripped off the contents of the config files, no matter where they were.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 5:12 PM, Neil Walker <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:neil@ep.mine.nu">neil@ep.mine.nu</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

</div>For it to be a valid comment, the &#39;#&#39; MUST be the first character on the<br>
line. That&#39;s always been the convention. A FEW programs will recognise<br>
the &#39;#&#39; elsewhere in the line as the start of the comment but you should<br>
NEVER EVER rely upon that.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I don&#39;t think this behavior is consistent, comments shouldn&#39;t matter.<br>
&gt; is that a desirable feature or a bug?<br>
<br>
</div>It&#39;s totally consistent and highly desirable.<br>

Be lucky,<br>
