The .cbo file contains the 'memory' of your combination (piston) settings.

Correct. And you can use "Save combo as..." to create named .cbo files that can be loaded with "Load combo" to save as many settings as you want.

.cbo files are not human readable. You can use Export and Import memory level to write out or read in the combinations for the current memory level as a .csv (comma separated value) file. These are human readable but not overly human friendly. There isn't much error checking when importing a .csv file so it is up to you to provide a correct file. Reading a bad file won't do any permanent damage though.

M refers to the meta key, which is not present on most keyboards. (Its use in software is for primarily historical reasons.) Usually, the meta key is emulated by another key on your keyboard. On Windows and Linux, it is usually the Alt key.
