Back in the dark ages, when I was a User Interface MPE engineer, I used to
have a simple UDC that did this:

x cmd1=Comment, cmd2=Comment, cmd3=Comment
cmd1
cmd2
cmd3

It wasn't perfect (because if the command contain comma or semicolon, you'd
have to enter it surrounded by quotes, and if the command contained both
single & double quotes, you couldn't use it.  But it satisfied my need.
That's how my brain worked back then.
