Yes you can. But open the file up before you get too excited...You'll see that in adding just one entry, you'll need to edit all the "fluff" that wraps around it, including renumbering the section title of *every* subsequent entry.

No, you just won't have one with *every* message. For example, if your last save is mid-patrol, then every message subsequent to that save point will NOT be recorded anywhere. Hence saving at the *last* possible moment.

Nup. It doesn't care once the event has passed. As long as file integrity is maintained, SH3 will be happy. But remember though, SH3 doesn't actually use this file for anything outside of the associated save game.
I mean, I could *very* quickly and easily whip up a small programme that allows editing and formatting of the .crp file...but what benefit will it give users? If anyone can provide convincing arguments, I'll do it.

Yes. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't know these files intimately. But alas, time takes its toll...
