>Thanks! I didn't even consider using an OKL to achieve this. However, the actual functionality that I'd like to have is what SHIFT+F10+M gives you...only I'd like my custom comment string to preceed each line instead of *!*

Now I see what you're after. Sounds like you've already added an EditorCommentString value in the registry (per article Q165640 HOWTO: Customize the Comment and Uncomment Strings in VFP) but instead of the date expression being evaluated, you're getting the literal string, right? If so then the OKL, or the IntelliSense approach Alex suggested, are probably your best bet.
