COMMENT

	It is often helpful to use comments to include in the source
	statements a description of certain FDL commands and their
	functions. These comments are useful when debugging your
	program and can act as reminders if you or someone else
	modifies the .FSL later. When you use comments, they appear
	on the source statement only. They are not printed on your
	form, and do not affect the execution of your program.
Syntax	COMMENT text;
Parameter options	text
	Text to be treated as a comment.
Default	None.
Example	This sample illustrates a COMMENT that identifies the procedure
	that is to follow it:
	COMMENT * PLACE SECTIONS *;
	DO SECTION RSPNSE AT 0,0;
	DO SECTION RSPNSE AT 7,0;
	DO SECTION RSPNSE AT 14,0;
Comment nesting	/* begins a comment and */ ends a comment.
	/* THIS IS THE START OF A NESTED COMMENT
	/* WHEN TWO ENDING COMBINATIONS ARE FOUND */
	THE COMMENT IS TERMINATED */
	A syntax error results if /* does not begin a comment and */
	does not end a comment. Each comment beginning (/*) and
	ending (*/) should be followed by at least one space character.
Considerations	A semicolon must be inserted at the end of the comment text;
	otherwise all of the following FDL commands are considered part
	of the comment text and are not executed. The FDL compiler
	ignores all comments up to the first encountered semicolon.
	Asterisks or line spacing cause the COMMENT to stand out from
	the text.
