Block delete is not used for comment lines. Block delete causes the control to ignore the line with the block delete symbol during control operation. I have seen controls with multiple levels of block delete. I have found very limited use for one level of block delete and have never used a second level block delete. The only block delete symbol I have seen has been the / symbol. Any symbol would work. / - one level // - two levels /// - three levels. I don't know if a two or more level block delete will honor levels with lower numbers of symbols or only ignore the lines with the same level of block delete symbols. I have seen controls with block delete and block delete 2 and block delete 3 buttons. I have always assumed block delete level two would ignore level 1 and level 2 block delete lines. I haven't used block delete for over 20 years.
