Comments disappear from script

[Jerry Muelver]

I had a bunch of helpful, instructional comments at the top of  my stack 
script. After an hour or so of coding and saving reloading, I went back to 
review the comments, and they were gone. Is there some code-cleaning option 
that I triggered that would strip comments out? Rev 2.6.1 on Linux (Ubuntu 
Gnome).

(Note: Replies to my previous questions were very helpful, and much 
appreciated. Is it good form to give generic thanks, or does this community 
thrive better on one-on-one replies to replies. I come from a fairly 
taciturn, bandwidth-conservative background....)
