Here's the annotated version:

    # Before executing the rest of the script, do this:
    BEGIN {
	# Assign the value of environment variable `PROTOS' to a variable.
	PROTOS = ENVIRON["PROTOS"]

	# Read the next line from the protos file into a variable.
	# Until the end-of-file:
	while ((getline line < PROTOS) > 0) {
	    # Split the line into words, treating the string colon-space
	    # as a separator.
	    split(line, arr, /: /)

	    # Name the array elements.
	    name = arr[1]
	    text = arr[2]

	    # Append the new text to whatever text already is in the
	    # array for the given entry.
	    protos[name] = protos[name] "\n    " text
	}

	# Close the file.
	close(PROTOS)
    }

I've tested with the same version.
