Default CU turnpoints (Question for Brit users)

But the problem for you is that you want to make a portable and common
CUP file for all programs, of course, and then you must stay with the
CUP format which has no line separations inside comment.

Exactly so. I was wondering if SYM might use commas as line delimiters
inside the (quoted) description, but it doesn't: commas are displayed
just like any other character. Long descriptions are split on the last
whitespace that fits into the line.

So, this is no different from LK8000 and XCSoar except that the SYM
display area is a little narrower and has several more lines to fill
before there's any need to scroll up and down in its display area.

I'll contact you offline about this.
