>>>Yup.. different strokes. But's I'll disagree with your disagreement. If you put the + and AND at the end of the line, there is nothing to tell you that the next line is a continuation if you are only scanning the beginning of the line. My way, you get that visual clue either way (beginning or end).

Actually, I believe the problem is that when the syntax coloring routine examines the first character and if it's a comment colors the entire line appropriately, but doesn't check the last character to see if it's a continuation. Even more insidious is:

? 1 && This is a comment;
? 2 && This won't execute
? 3 && This will
