[Matlab-emacs-discuss] commenting

[Yakir G. <12....@gm...>]

Hi all,
I'm new to emacs and matlab-mode.
My problem is that I can't seem to comment and unncomment lines or regions
in an m file while in MATLAB Fill (which I assume is the matlab mode) using
emacs (GNU Emacs 23.3.1) on ubuntu (11.10) by pressing M-;. all that
happens is that a % sign shows up at the ens of the line. If the line was
already commented, pressing M-: doesn't do anything (neither selecting the
uncomment option from the menu).
My .emacs file has only these 2 lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/matlab-emacs/")
(require 'matlab-load)
I hope this is silly and basic, thanks in advance for any help!!!
