When the script is initialized using option 6 or when a new virtual machine is added, the following lines are added:

...

# Parameter $1: contains full path to cfg file
# Parameter $2: contains full path to emulator exe file
#
# Important notes:
# - comments & commands must be on separate lines
# - respect the structure of the file with case/in/esac
# - only place your commands between the selection and the ';;' line
