Commenting procedures (REM)

It is considered good technique to include comments and programming notations in with your procedures. These comments (remarks) can be included by first placing a "!" command marker at the start of the line, as shown in the following example:

 ! Comments and program notes are placed here.

The "!" symbol is used as a short-cut instead of typing the long form of the command marker, the REM command. For example:

 REM Comments and program notes are placed here.

Once EASI encounters a ! or a REM, it will ignore the rest of that input line. Remark lines have no effect on a procedure's execution. Text following a ! or REM marker need not be enclosed in double quotes. Note that comments must appear on lines by themselves and cannot appear on a line following a command.
