It is so if you have a large statement,
eg

Select * ;
   From MyTable ;
   Where X = Y ;
   AND Y = Z ;
   GROUP BY X ;
   ORDER BY X ;
   INTO CURSOR C_Temp

you can comment it out with a single * in front of the first line.
Unfortunatley the syntax coloring does not pick this up, and hence does not mark all the lines as being comments. They get picked up by the compiler though.
