The Rim commands which load the Sample database (figure  on page ) contain comments.

There is also a comment command. * <rest of command> "*" (command)@"*" (command) The <rest of command> is parsed, so normal input rules must be followed, but no action is taken. This command is used for comments, but is also useful with the "echo" mode setting (page ) to show macro expansions macros (see chapter ).
