# message
This command allows you to add comments to your code. You can either add a new comment, or you can “comment out” existing lines in your code.
To enter a new comment on an empty line, you can type # and then the comment text, with or without a space after the #. (You can also type ; to create a new comment, but the comment is marked with #, since semicolon was used for comments in previous versions).
To enter an inline comment, type “<space>##” at the end of a code line, and then enter the comment text. Inline comments are positioned over on the right of the code entry area: they are left-tab aligned according to a tab which is indicated by a small marker at the top of the code entry area: you can drag this marker to reset the tab position.
Note that the Sta:, Text: and JavaScript: commands do not allow inline comments.
To “comment out” lines of code, i.e. to stop the code executing, select the method line or multiple lines and press Ctrl+/. Use the same keypress to uncomment previously commented out lines of code (in this case, the comment text must be a valid command to be uncommented).
# here are some comments
# variable delay set by lDelay
# adjust Until calculation to increase/decrease delay
Calculate lCount as 1
Repeat ## this is an in-line comment
Calculate lCount as lCount+1
Until lCount>=lDelay*10
