Printable comments may be added to blocks; for example explanations useful to learners; e.g. pass treble in 2-3, dodge 4-5 up. To do this, the comment command should be used after the method has been rung; for example
CRE> method pb5 "Plain Bob" 5 CRE> block plain "Plain Course of Bob Doubles" 5 10 CRE> plaincourse plain pb5 CRE> comment plain 8 "Pass treble in 2-3" CRE> comment plain 10 "Dodge 3-4 up" CRE> set plain.commentlen 20 CRE> set plain.showcomments on CRE> print plain
N.B. The variable showcomments needs to be on and commentlen must be set to the maximum length for comments to be correctly printed.
To list comments, use the showcomment command; for example
CRE> showcomments plain 8 "pass treble 2-3" 10 "Dodge 3-4 up"
To remove comments, the uncomment command may be used; for example to remove the comment on line 8:
CRE> uncomment plain 8
