REM (remark)

REM (remark)

Purpose:

Precedes comments or remarks in script files

Entry:

REM line of text

REM has the same purpose as the REM statements in BASIC and in DOS batch files. IMPORTANT: A space is required before and after REM to separate it from other text on the same line. Example:

S3 SENDS SPC REM fire missle

Note:

REM and // are not needed under the [SETUP] section of a script file. Text under the [SETUP] section is treated like a "block" comment that can span multiple lines. Comments written with REM and //, however, can extend only to the next carriage return (the character that ends a line of text).
