Hey Gregory,
You can’t do this directly with Path Finder – however you can get a list of items selected in Path Finder, turn them into aliases, and operate on them using the Finder.
This AppleScript will place the given comment in the Get-Info comment of every selected item in the Finder.
------------------------------------------------------------
set theComment to "Your commentary is unnecessary and irrelevant!"
tell application "Finder"
set finderSelectionList to selection as alias list
if length of finderSelectionList = 0 then error "No files were selected in the Finder!"
repeat with i in finderSelectionList
set comment of i to theComment
end repeat
end tell
------------------------------------------------------------
This AppleScript will place the given comment in the Get-Info comment of every selected item in Path Finder.

set theComment to "Your commentary is unnecessary and irrelevant!"
tell application "Path Finder"
set pfSelectionList to selection
if pfSelectionList ≠ missing value then
repeat with i in pfSelectionList
set (contents of i) to POSIX path of (contents of i)
end repeat
else
error "Nothing is selected in Path Finder!"
end if
end tell
repeat with i in pfSelectionList
set (contents of i) to alias POSIX file (contents of i)
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
repeat with i in pfSelectionList
set comment of i to theComment
end repeat
end tell
------------------------------------------------------------
You can use a Prompt for User Input action to collect the text for the comment.
You can get the text from a Keyboard Maestro variable into AppleScript easily:
