>>One thing I overlooked (that Larry pointed out) is the lack of indentation. I indent the continuation. I think that as far as placing the operator at the beginning or end of a line is simply a matter of style rather than substance. I think that a case can be made either way.

>I agree. Both are valid. I think the important point is that you should pick one way and always use it unless/until you find a better way. I have some other things along the same line. For example, my current project has lots of code that was written by a well known VFP consulting group. All the comments start with *--. Personnally, I see no reason to use the --. It doesn't make it any more of a comment. It doesn't stand out differently because all the comments are that way. IMO, why use *-- when * will do?

Actually, I've seen some folks use unique implementations of the asterisk plus something else in order to allow them to automatically extract those comments into help files, identify individual programmers, etc.

I think ther's some potential value there but I sure don't want to propose a standard! <g>
