Does anybody have any references on how  to insert comments/notes within

Thanks

Additionally,

FREQUENCIES
/* this will not work */
  variables=var1.

because you cannot have a blank line in the middle of a command and
comments resolve to blanks.

For the official reference pull up the Command Syntax Reference from the
Help menu and go to the COMMENT page.

Yes. More's the pity.
