faxcover(1) sets your comment correctly into the defines. Have a
look at the resulting PostScipt file; it should contain:
...
/comments (line 1 \\n line2) def
/comments1 (line 1 ) def
/comments2 (line2) def
/comments3 () def
/comments4 () def
/comments5 () def
...
for your example. What is printed or sent depends on your PostScipt
template (e.g. the usage of the "comments1" macros....).

One must add it to the code of faxcover.c++.
