Add comments to a script

In HyperTalk scripts, two hyphens (--) indicate a comment. HyperTalk ignores all commented lines when executing a script.

For example:

on mouseUp
   -- Displays a dialog box
   answer "What?" with "No" or "Yes"
   put it -- the user's reply
end mouseUp

• To comment several lines at once, drag to select the lines you want to comment, and then choose Comment from the Script menu (or press Command-–).

• To “uncomment” several lines at once, drag to select the lines you want to uncomment, and then choose Uncomment from the Script menu (or press Command-=).
