If you want to insert a really long comment block:
: << IMPORTANT
mumble bla bla bla ...
IMPORTANT
You can pretty much put anything you want between the:
: << IMPORTANT
and
IMPORTANT
tags. You don't have to use "IMPORTANT" either. It works with
Bash; however, I am unsure of how it works with other shells. Unless
you have a really long comment block, I think the "#" syntax is easier
to use. Plus, I don't know if it would even work in an "rc" file.
