Any word that beings with a hash sign (#) starts a comment and that
word together with the remainder of the line is ignored.
Spaces can be included in a word using quotation characters. Either
single quotes
.RB ( ' )
or double quotes (\fB"\fP)
may be used. All the characters from one quotation character to
next identical character are protected and will not be used to
separate words to start new quoted strings. To include a single quote
it must be between double quotes. To include a double quote it must
be between single quotes.
Any line that starts with white space (space or tab) is treated as
though it were a continuation of the previous line.
