Thanks Ivan,

I knew I had seen it somewhere. Seems like lots of people prefer *-- for comments.

>Answer: Visual FoxPro does not directly support changing this option through the user interface, however, you can manually change this setting by adding a new setting to the Windows Registry. First, open the Registry using RegEdit (type RegEdit in the dialog prompted from Windows Start -> Run... menu). Next, locate the following Registry key.

> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\6.0\Options

>You should see a number of familiar settings in the viewing pane on right-side. These are the settings saved from the Visual FoxPro Options dialog. To add the new comment mark, select New -> String Value from the Edit menu and type in the following value:
>
> EditorCommentString
>
>Finally, double-click on this new Registry entry and add the new comment mark that you want to use (by default, Visual FoxPro uses *!*). Make sure your entry starts with an * since this denotes a comment in FoxPro code when compiled.
