Well, yes, the semicolon does work... but if you're going to have to
do new work to hack the way DDR parses statements anyhow, REXX-ish
syntax would certainly be a desirable approach. Not that I have any
delusions about the development process being at all democratic, but if
you're considering votes, I vote for:
- "/* blah blah blah */" syntax for comments
- ";" (semicolon) for statement continuation
-dan.

If you were inclined to add an official comment syntax to DDR control

CONFIG. I suppose another choice could be the semi-colon as used by
TCPIP.
Semicolon works ok as it allows
INPUT 181 TAPE ( LEAVE ; Comment on the same line
and
; Full line comment
Today you have to code
Comment on same line ¢INPUT 181 TAPE ( LEAVE
and
Full line comment ¢
