- \ COMMENT.HLP Allow multiple line comments in files. by Tom Zimmer
-
- <comment:> ( --- )
- Primitive used by "comment:".
-
- comment: ( --- )
- Start a multi-line comment. Patches <comment:> into RUN,
- it then reads and throws away lines until "comment;"
- is encountered.
-
- Here is an example of usage:
-
- comment: <- this marks the start line of a multi line comment.
-
- this is a comment line somewhere in the middle.
-
- comment; <- this marks the end line of a multi line comment.
-
-
-
- <.comment:> ( --- )
- A primitive used by ".comment:".
-
- .comment: ( --- )
- Starts a multi-line print statment. All lines following the
- ".comment:" line will be printed to the display until a
- "comment;" is encountered.
-
- <#if> ( --- )
- A primitive used by #IF.
-
- #if ( bool --- )
- Starts a multi-line compiler directive. If the BOOL passed
- to #IF is true, then the lines following #IF will be executed.
- If the BOOL is false, then the lines following #IF up to the
- #ENDIF, will be ignored.
-
- Here is an example of how #IF works:
-
- true ( --- f1 )
- #if True flag passed, this comment needs no preceeding \
- cr .( This statment printed due to TRUE flag in #IF statment.)
- #endif
-
- false ( --- f1 )
- #if
- .( This statment NOT printed due to FALSE flag in #IF statment.)
- #endif
-
-
- #endif ; \ just a noop for the #if TRUE case.
- Ends a multi-line Compiler directive. See #IF.
