In TurboCASH3, TurboCASH4 and TurboCASH5, osFinancials4, and TurboCASH5.2 (Build 299) the F9:Comments was always, by default, inserted after a selected stock item. 

After TurboCASH5.2 (build 300) onwards, the F9:Comments is inserted before a selected stock item. 

In TurboCASH5.2 (build 398) an option "Append notes after item" (Setup → Documents setup (Setup ribbon)) is added to set the preference if Comments should be added before, or after, a selected stock item when processing documents and printing comments on layout files. 

"Append notes after item" = TICKED (selected). This is the default setting.
