I think the best way to comment code is to insert a block comment (without fancy delimiting lines) at the same indent level as the code that it is commenting on, anything else does not improve legibilty of the code. Especially keeping the same indent level helps to keep an eye on structure. _______________________________________________________________________ Jens-Uwe Mager jum@anubis.han.de 30177 Hannover jum@helios.de Brahmsstr. 3 Tel.: +49 511 660238
