Comments in Mirac DOS G-code

I am using a Mirac with DOS 2.25 software and I do not seem to be able to put comments into the g-code.

I have tried the usual ways (abc), (abc and ;abc :( :?

I just get junk and it looks like the parser tries to make g-code from the text.

Am I trying to do something that is not valid on this version of software?

Thanks
Graham

I think I have the answer:-

It looks like you have to have the comment at the start of the line so :-

N1 T0101 M8 (ROUGHING TOOL)
G00 X25. Z.25

is not valid but

N1 T0101 M8
(ROUGHING TOOL)
G00 X25. Z.25

works just fine.
