Could someone please post a sample of a support gcode file or give some advice for what to enter in it?

I promise I searched and I find a lot of references to support and how to activate it, but not what to put in the file.

Thanks

You only need to use the support gcode files if you have a dual extruder.
Then you can use the start/stop support gcode files to switch to the extruder with the support plastic.
If you only have a single extruder then you don't need anything in the support gcode files.

So if an object says I need to print with support would I just activate support but not have a file?
