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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     In the TOOLS.INI file, PWB treats the text that follows a
     semicolon (;) up to the end of the line as a comment. To specify
     the beginning of a comment, you must place the semicolon at the
     beginning of a line or following a space.
 
     For example, the first semicolon in the statement below is part of
     a command, and the second semicolon begins a comment.
 
          Printcmd:lister -t4 %s -c;   ;Print using lister program
 
     Semicolons inside a quoted string do not begin a comment.
 
     NOTE: Comments are not recognized by the Assign function («assign»)
           unless the comment is on a line by itself.
