How INITCMDS Are Coded

To allow for comments and SOF command text that spans multiple lines, the INITCMDS file adheres to the following rules:

• Strips leading blanks from each line.
• After leading blanks are stripped, treats any line that starts with * or # or // or /* as a comment line.
• A non-comment line ending in a comma signals continuation of the line on a following line. The trailing comma is replaced by blank, and the next stripped non-comment line is concatenated onto the line being continued.
• The maximum concatenation length of an SOF command is 1023 characters.
