Problem adding comments to custom POI

I'm a newbie with a Garmin Nuvi 265wt. I have tried downloading some of the custom POIs on this site & have also experimented with creating my own custom POIs. I have built CSV files and also GPX files (using EasyGPS) and used POI Loader to put them on the Nuvi 265wt. They load OK, but only the first 3 columns from the CSV file show (the coordinates and the label). I can't get the comments to show up. The same thing occurs with the GPX files. I read in another posting that on custom POIs only the first 3 columns can be uploaded. Is there some program or some work around to get the comments to show on my Nuvi 265wt? Any help is appreciated.
I think part of the problem
is your choice of GPS editing software.
I just downloaded EasyGPS and looked at a file that was created with TurboCCC's Extra_POI_Editor. About 70% of the information was missing. It only displayed the POI NAME and coordinates.

You have to select MORE at
You have to select MORE at the bottom of POI page to see comments / column 4.

That solved the problem
Thank you jthawkin - I see the comments now. Also, thank you a_user for the information about the Extra Poi Loader. I've downloaded it & will try it out on creating some custom POIs.
