When I am debugging or just editing and improving a hunk of code I have lisp commands 'comment-region' and 'uncomment-region' available that automatically puts a comment symbol in front of selected lines of code to hide them from the compiler. It also uncomments when I am finished playing around. For example, in a complex macro I recorded today I didn't get it quite right (I had finger stutter). Before editing stuff out, if I could have 'rem'ed several lines and added what I thought would be more efficient, I could then experiment with the option that in the end I could remove the changes and the 'rem's and start over. No need to re-record the macro; no need to do it all by coding. If "enter rem " " down home" or such, were assigned to a key it would be easier. Better, would be to select several lines of code and click or key for several lines of 'rem'. That's why. -- Regards Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
