C - Comments

Inserts a character string at the beginning or at the end of the current line, or the current and following lines.

Command

Action

The Comment command allows you to enter a character string at the:

beginning of the current line;
beginning of the current and a defined number of lines following;
end of the current line;
end of the current and a defined number of lines following.

When you press C in Edit Mode, the Status/Command Line prompts:

COMMENTS at (B)eginning or (E)nd of line?:

Type B to enter comments at the beginning of each line, or E to enter comments at the end of each line.

The Status/Command Line then prompts for the character string:

Comment string :

Enter the character or string. The Status/ Command Line then prompts for the number of lines:

Thru line# Ret=current, 0=Exit:

Your possible responses are:

Enter a line number greater than the current line number. The comment is added to all lines from the current line to the line number entered, inclusive.
Press RETURN only. The comment string is only added to the current line.
Enter a zero or a number less than the current line number. This cancels the Comment command.
