<B>REM Comment or Metacommand</B>
<B>REM</B> [<U>remark</U>] or <B>REM</B> $METACOMMAND: <U>argument</U>
Adds explanatory commentary to a program listing or issues a compiler
metacommand.
<U>remark</U> Commentary text, ignored by QuickBASIC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> QuickBASIC does not execute REM statements, but a program
may branch to a REM statement; execution continues with
the first executable statement following the REM.
A REM statement must be the last statement in a program
line (QuickBASIC ignores everything after the REM
keyword).
A single quote mark (apostrophe) can is equivalent to REM,
with the following exceptions:
A single quote can be used to attach a comment at the
end of an existing program statement. A REM comment
cannot written this way; it must be in a program
statement by itself.
A single quote cannot be used before a metastatement.
