Description

A source code line beginning with Rem indicates that the line is a comment and will not be compiled.

The single quote character (') may also be used to indicate a comment and may appear after other keywords on a source line.

Multi-line comments are marked with the tokens /' and '/. All text between the two markers is considered comment text and is not compiled.
