Thanks Thomas!

I saw the "see also" pointing to "Examine()" and my brain saw "ExAll" and followed that path.

The other thing I did wrong here, which I didn't realize until I tested the FIB route and was still getting empty comments, was that I thought the DOSlib wanted the path to the INFO file, not the path to the parent (non-.info) file. Once I started passing the non-.info path, it filled out. So the ed_Comment route also works fine, if you happen to be doing ExAll instead of Examine().
