The Finder can't insert comments into the jpeg file the way GC can. The
Finder just adds comments to the "Get Info" box. These coments are only
available to other Macs, and they aren't even available to OS 9 (both
have Finder comments, but they're not compatible), and they disappear
when the files are transferred to file systems that don't support
resource forks. The kind of comments the guy who asked the initial
question wanted (I assumed) become part of the jpeg file and can be
read by image browsers on multiple platforms.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word
itself: 'Mankind'. Basically, it's made up of two separate words -
'mank' and 'ind'. What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's
why so is mankind.
