<B>' Comment</B>
<B>'</B> [<U>remark</U>]
Adds explanatory text to a program listing.
<U>remark</U> Commentary text, ignored by BASIC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> BASIC does not execute comments, but a program may branch
to a statement beginning with '. Execution will then
continue with the first executable statement thereafter.
Any program statements following a comment, in the same
logical line, are ignored by BASIC.
' can be used to add a comment at the end of an existing
program statement (BASIC ignores everything following the
' character). Exception: ' cannot be used in this manner
in a DATA statement (because BASIC would treat the ' as
part of the DATA).
