Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 {REM | '} text
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ Remarks are ignored when your program runs unless they contain
     metacommands.
 
   ■ REM statements are not compiled, but instead appear exactly as typed
     when the program is listed.
 
   ■ A remark can be inserted on a line after an executable statement if it
     is preceded by either:
     • A single quotation mark (')
     • REM preceded by a colon (:REM)
 
   ■ Do not use the single-quotation form of REM in a DATA statement because
     it will be considered valid data. See: ◄DATA Statement►
 
   ■ You can branch from a GOTO or GOSUB statement to a REM statement.
     Execution continues with the first executable statement after the REM
     statement. See: ◄GOTO Statement►  ◄GOSUB...RETURN Statement►
