It is possible to assign a short comment on the program directory screens to
each individual program. These comments are used to help identify a
program when it is selected for automatic operation or to be edited.
Important: These are not normally the same as a comment block made
within a part program. Comment blocks are discussed in section 10.2.3.
Note that if a comment block is assigned as the first block of the part
program, it will also be displayed on the program directory screen as a
comment. Any other comment blocks have no affect on the comment
display.
To assign a comment to a program without using a comment block as the
first block of the program follow the steps below:
1. Press the {PRGRAM MANAGE} softkey. This displays the program
directory screen. Any existing comments previously assigned to a
program are displayed to the right of the program name.

comment to. The selected program name will be shown in reverse
video.

be displayed in reverse video and the control will display the prompt
