Lex,
Ok, here it fails in the second section.  I don't know why.  It seems no 
different than the first section.

If you are in a hurry, you don't need to read anything in the file, but
can simply *search for "\#\#\#"*, which are comment lines
can simply *search for \#\#\#* which are comment lines
can simply *search for "\#@@"*, which are comment lines
can simply search for "\#\#\#", which are comment lines
can simply search for \#\## which are comment lines
can simply search for "#@@", which are comment lines
marking items that may need to be changed.

If you are in a hurry, you don't need to read anything in the file, but
can simply *search for "\#\#\#"*, which are comment lines
marking items that may need to be changed.

Each "#@@" comment says whether it must be changed, might need to
be changed, or probably will never need to be changed, etc. Many of these items
typically will never need to be changed, so the actual number of changes that 
need
to be made is smaller than it might first appear.  It is
recommended that rather than hurrying, you take time to read through
the file, as the comments explain the purpose of each parameter, and you will
want to know this information, at least for key parameters, to select the right
parameter values for your needs.
