I use some macros to automate common tasks. Perhaps you can do something similar with the KEYBOARD command. Something like this:
keyboard "{Ctrl+F2}{ESC}* This is a comment{ENTER}"
Whether there is a way of filling out the Command Window without activating it (as VFP does in some places), I don't know.
