Bobby, I think you are thinking of the old way of authoring .m files by 
using AutoGeneratedPackage. Nowadays it is much easier to edit the .m 
file directly in Mathematica, but if you copy an input cell from a 
notebook to a .m file, you need to change its style to 'Code'.

The direct editing of .m files works superbly in 6.0.2 with all the 
heading/text information reversibly stored as comments. It is a real 
shame not to use it!
