Right. This is even more difficult if you introduce a real logic, then GPS  
will may not be able to read it anymore (do not remember exactly, there  
was some constants defined if my mind is right).

While there are at least two advantageous point with the Rich Editor  
approach : you do not have to check the manual all the time to see what is  
that one letter or two letter flag you forget about (but if you leave  
comments, the Rich Editor will remove them all). And the second point, for  
a first approach, new comers, a Rich Editor is better.
