There should be no space after # or after COMMENT and before (2). #COMMENT(2) Could it be that the system will not currently show both the red + for new entry and the red ? for #COMMENT ?

Whilst the definition (in http://www.freebmd.org.uk/Format.shtml) specifies no space between COMMENT or THEORY and the open bracket, it is allowed. It is not just that the entry is not marked as having a comment, there is no comment associated with the entry! This will be corrected at the next update.
