VMSECURE RULES limitations on XEDIT

When I XEDIT the file 'id' USRRULES in VMSECURE RULES, I would
like to include a comment indicating why I set up a particular rule.
I can use entire lines for comments just by starting with an '*' but
for searching and selection purposes it would be much more convenient
to have the comment on the same line as the rule.

I can do this by using the form:
rule (option) * comment

But the file is set to TRUNCate at column 71.  If I change TRUNC, VERIFY,
ZONE, to the full 80, the entry is still truncated at column 71 when
I again go into VMSECURE RULES to look at my entries.
Is there any way to retain longer lines in a RULES file?

Any other suggestions for commenting the rules that I add to the file?
Has anyone has problems/success running macros during the xedit session
to add or change their rules?
