Hi,
I'm a very beginner in GW-BASIC and i want to modify some old programs written by father in that language in the '90s. I want to ask you how it's possible writing comments in program lines. For example:
This is a part of a my program. I want to write a simple comment between line 118 and line 120 (or in the same line 118), reminding me, opening it next time, why i've done that operation or similar.
I don't want the comment in the output file:
3 OPEN "O" , #1 , "DATI"
Thank you for the support

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can include coments by preceding them with REM or an apostrophe '. E.g.
110 REM this is a comment
120 D=0: REM this is a comment too
130 A=1 'and this is also a comment
All statements and functions are documented at pc-basic.org/doc although it's not really a learning resource. This old tutorial by Steve Estvanik looks good, though: http://www.o-bizz.de/qbtuts/gw-train/
Hope this helps
Rob

114 N=9
116 A=Z1/360
118 B=Z2/360
120 C=(B-A)/Z5
130 D=0
