Multiple Line Comments in Basic Code

Post by DSguru2B »

Its basically a simple question, How to comment out a huge block of code without putting stars before each and every line. I am looking for something synonymous to

Code: Select all

/*
All
   of
      the
          these
                 lines
                       are
                           comments
*/
in a C program.
Does such a thing exist for a Basic program

No, each line needs to be commented.

Code: Select all
