Hi Dave
 I agree, I think that being able to feed comments back into the
disassembler is one of the most important parts, like you.
I find that I needed a way to strip the comments from
the listing file and not simply type them into a separate
file. The method I've been using is maybe to simplified
because it doesn't allow inline comments but I've not
found this to be all that bad. One can still put one line
of comment with each line of code. I expect that the next
one I write, I may try to include some method of capturing
the comments that are inline with the code as well, though.
I originally had a separate file that I'd edit comments into
but found that I couldn't make myself do this every time.
I wanted to edit the comments into the listing file as
I figured things out. Going back and finding the comments
to feed back was always a pain. That is why the computer
generates the comment file from the listing file,
automatically for me. I guess I'm just to lazy. The
price was that I needed to make it easy for the computer
to find my new comments.
