Oh, I leave that on shore. I have a spot reserved in the Long Term Parking section of Rommie's Panzer Bonanza Valet au Lait Kaffee & Kream-Der-Tommies Emporium.

Aaaaaand now I have a question about Ship Names, which you may or may not be able to answer, but here goes:

Remember how I was playing around with making an alternate version of the .cfg file to avoid having enemy ships I sank prior to Dec 10 1941 turn up in my logs with obviously American names?

I'm wondering if it's possible to keep names in the file from being used by Commander just by putting a ';' in front of the line where they appear, instead of removing them completely and revamping the file (which is a lot of hassle if I want to preserve the numbering/alphabetic order in each section, which makes it much easier to work with overall).

So f'rinstance if I see a class of merchant vessels with several names in it, like so:

0001 SS Jimbuna
0002 SS Tarjak
0003 SS Sailor Steve
0004 SS JScones
0005 SS Neal Stevens
0006 SS Arclight

and determined that 0003 and 0005 are US ships and would not have been valid targets, and thus sunk by me, prior to Dec 10 1941... could I change it to

0001 SS Jimbuna
0002 SS Tarjak
;0003 SS Sailor Steve
0004 SS JScones
;0005 SS Neal Stevens
0006 SS Arclight

to remove the two American names from the usable mix? Would Commander just ignore them when it populates the logs, or would taking out a 'number' in the middle of a group cause a problem? I've assumed that Commander pulls the names randomly from each group, then again the numbers must mean something or they wouldn't be there.
