Re: Comments in SQR

If you download the editor UltraEdit.  (http://www.ultraedit.com)  There is a
menu item under Column called Column Mode.
If you set this option then highlight the lines that you want to comment out  (
the first column of each line) and go back to
menu item Column and select Insert/Fill Columns and type ! and hit OK all your
lines are commented and you dont have to
worry about moving them to another paragraph, cutting/pasting, etc.

There also could be other editors that have similiar functionality.
