I have an XEDIT macro that operates as a prefix command. It turns specified 
lines into comments. It has the ability to turn blocks of lines into comments, 
as well. Here is an example using a snippet of code from SMTPNOTE EXEC:

Before - note the asterisks in the prefix area. That is the synonym I use.

00059 imp =''                                                                  
*0060 fix =''                                                                  
00061 enrich=''                                                                
0*062 nofill=''                                                                
00063 su = ''                                                                  
00**  da = ''                                                                  
00065 debug = 0                                                                
00066 batch = ''                                                               
00067 parms = translate(parms,'7C'x,'õ'); /* transl. at sign    98/11/10 RT */ 
00068 i = 1                                 /* get number of parms.      */    
**069 j = words(parms)                      /* get number of parms.      */    


After

00059 imp =''                                                                   
     
00060 /*fix ='' */                                                              
     
00061 enrich=''                                                                 
     
00062 /*nofill='' */                                                            
     
00063 su = ''                                                                   
     
00064 /*da = '' */                                                              
     
00065 /*debug = 0 */                                                            
     
00066 /*batch = '' */                                                           
     
00067 /*parms = translate(parms,'7C'x,'õ'); /* transl. at sign    98/11/10 RT 
*/ */  
00068 /*i = 1                                 /* get number of parms.      */ 
*/     
00069 /*j = words(parms)                      /* get number of parms.      */ 
*/ 

Is this thee type of macro you seek?
