re: you might consider using the more ubiquitous /* ... */ 

Yes,  I have done that.

However, I have been "conditioned" to distrust that format.  I use the
"ubiquitous" format extensively for commenting blocks of code.  ie: How did
we get here, what are we doing here, and what do we expect as a result from
being here.

Many years ago, I got burned by nested "ubiquitous" issues within LC's (Rev
at that time) script editor.  Since then, I have avoided nested comments. 
Perhaps the glitch has been fixed, I don't know.  But, safety first.

It seems the majority of delays in my project(s) have been fighting issues
in what I consider to be basic functionality with Rev/LC.  Breakpoint
malfunctions, hilited lines, "eof" processing, sample code not being
correct, etc.  Frankly, I'm disappointed in the "maturity" of the system. 
If I had known back when I first started tinkering with Rev what I know now,
I might have decided to go a different route.  Now, I'm "stuck".  Still
though, the promise/potential of LC is a strong attraction and worth the
occasional hair-pulling frustration.  Well, ALMOST worth it.
