Adding Comments to Data Files.
Purpose
Comments are lines that the compiler and linker ignore entirely.
Format:
'text of comment
Note:
The single quote must be the first screen column. Use two single
quotes at the start of the line if you want a line in your long
entry to start with a single quote.
Description
You can add comment lines to data text files and the menu link control
file by starting the line with a single quote. A comment can be a whole
line only. You cannot add a comment at the end of a line of text in a
long entry, or on the same line as a bang command (e.g., !short or
!file). Comments are ignored by both the Database Composer's compiler
and linker. (They also ignore blank lines, except those found in long
entries, where they are part of the text.)
