REM                      Comment

 REM [remark]

    Adds explanatory text to a program listing.

      remark    Commentary text, ignored by Turbo Basic.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:    Turbo Basic does not execute REM statements, but a program
                may branch to a REM statement; execution continues with
                the first executable statement following the REM.

                A REM statement must be the last statement in a program
                line (tbe compiler ignores everything after the REM
                keyword).

                A single quote mark (apostrophe) is equivalent to REM,
                with two exceptions: A single quote can be used to attach
                a comment at the end of an existing program statement. A
                REM comment cannot be written this way; it must be in a
                program statement by itself. Also a single quote cannot
                introduce a comment following a DATA statement (the quote
                will be treated as part of the data).
