      Comments in Journals use the scheme comment ; which like the # comment in Python runs to the end of the line. Usually it’s doubled to make it more obvious. The journal below works but be careful about empty lines between commands and the entered values, mark them ;; if you want it more readable.
      /file/rcd
      ;; Case file name
      ;; elbow.cas
      /define/models
      ;; Switch to unsteady solver unsteady-1st-order?
      ;; set choice here (Comment runs to end of the line) yes
      ;; Do some calculations
      /solve/dual-time-iterate
      ;; Number of timesteps 2
      ;; Number of iterations 10
