I keep the lines as they are, because I do not have experience with the
CMDLINE feature.

I sounds easy if you write, but to I have to read the complete file from
disc and for this VB is not very fast. If I have found the first line
with a number in front then I only read.

If you hit now a letter in the text fields, the content for the new
header is immediately updated.
I hope this version is now what you are expected.
The main problem for this is that there are many, many different usage
for some items and it is nearly impossible to manage all.
Mainly I wrote this program to complete the entries in a file that are
written by for example with MLCad. All extensions for the new header
should be then realized by this program. I know that I have to add
visible text fields to maintain the help, comments and cmdline entries.
But before I do that I want to have some response for the parsing.
