Could anyone explain what exactly do the terms in .cms files mean? This is the one for "roughsphere.cms"- could this be made more elaborate or is this as detailed as these files can get?

# roughsphere.cms
# Approximately spherical chunk of rock used to represent various small
# moons and asteroids throughout the solar system.

CMS ("Celestia Mesh") is a dead format . . . Use a .3ds mesh for geometry instead, as .cms files will be going away soon.
