One way I know to do this is (in bash) to use a dummy variable and make the comment a multiline character string:
dummy <- c(" This is my multiline comment or code block. ") or if printing does not disturb you, just use: " ... " Use ' if you have " in the block. Other workarounds are here, which you find when using a search engine: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1231195/multiline-comment-workarounds Hope this helps. @Duncan: sorry sending the mail to you twice.
