Re: [9fans] Help with a sam cleanup script

to avoid errors, perhaps something along the lines of

X g/$/v/$/a
this is a long block comment.
it has no effect.
.

X prevents ?no current file

there are probably even shorter variants

As for comments in scripts, if you use ssam(1) to run them the easiest way
