/*    You can also import comment files in the,
/*    Teachers Report Assistant format.
/*    There are 1000s around the web.
/*    School Report Writer automatically converts them.
/*
/*
/*    YOUR EXISTING COMMENTS ARE SAFE:
/*
/*    When you upload, you will be shown the comments
/*    you are about to import. You will be told if names
/*    are already in use and you can pick-&-click which
/*    comments to add to your comment bank.
/*
/*
/*    USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY:
/*
/*    Import files must be 'plain text'. The easiest way to
/*    create one is to download a comment file from our site
/*    and open it on your computer. On most systems it will
/*    automatically open in a plain text editor. If you
/*    make changes and save, the file should automatically be
/*    saved as plain text. On PCs it will usually open in

/*    and then choose file type: 'text only/plain text'.
/*
/*
/*    ADDING HELPFUL NOTES:
/*
/*    Lines starting /* are for notes (like this line).

/*
/*    COMMENTS AND LISTS:
