Hi krimskrams,

it's just a 1:1 mapping of the GPX definition. The <cmt> tag goes into 
the comment text box and the <desc> tag into the description line. The 
PQ uses the <desc> tag only and that is how QLGT saves the waypoint. 
Pretty straight forward.

Maybe the Open Cache Manger reformats the PQ for you. Give it a try.
