Block comments have been mentioned (under the edit menu in the IDLDE).
Also, many editors have "column mode" where you can select
row 1, for multiple columns and paste in the ";" (ultra edit can do this).
Another way, it to programatically make a IF block.
dothispart = 1
if dothispart then begin
...
endif
That is actually pretty handy to do, especially if you are in an
exploratory mood looking through data. I also use this to switch
between screen graphics, and postscript graphics for instance.
Cheers,
bob
