■ A single quotation mark can be used instead of the REM keyword.
■ If the REM keyword follows other statements on a line, it must
be separated from the statements by a colon.
Usage Notes
■ REM statements are not compiled, but they appear exactly as entered
when the program is listed.
■ You may branch from a GOTO or GOSUB statement to a REM statement.
Execution continues with the first executable statement after the
REM statement.
■ REM statements also are used to introduce metacommands (see
◄Metacommand Syntax►)
■ Do not use the single quotation form of the REM statement
in a DATA statement because it will be considered valid data.
