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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 allows explanatory remarks to be inserted in a program.
 
REM remark
' remark
 
    ■ 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.
