I mean the ASCII document with the following incipit:

This is called listownr.memo (572156 bytes). The text is basically the 
same as in HTML version of the same manual (owner-html.zip or something 
like this).

> }    The manual says, that the form is defined by ">>>", a space, the

Excerpt from the manual:

>->->

9.3. Mail template format and embedded formatting commands
==========================================================

Each individual template form starts with a form name and subject line, 
such as:
 
>>> EXAMPLE1 This is the subject line
 
Please note carefully the following instructions for the form name and 
subject line:

- The template form starts with the line containing the form name and 
  subject, and ends with the next line starting with '>>>', or at the 
  end of the file.
- The subject line may contain substitutions (such as "&LISTNAME: &WHOM 
  requested to join"). 
- Ensure that there is a blank space (ASCII 0x20) between ‘>>>‘ and the 
  name of the form, or LISTSERV will not recognize the form.  
- Also note that the names of the template forms must be typed in UPPER 
  CASE.

<-<-<

So, it turns over, that in some forms it is a subject (like stated by 
the manual), and in some of them, like CONFIRM1, it is just a comment 
(like you say), but the manual doesn't explicitly say this.
