Description:

A REM statement is used to insert comments into programs. The REM statement may contain any text you wish. It is useful in explaining what the program is doing. A comment tail, "!", is similar to the REM statement, however, the comment tail may appear on the same line as a program statement. Any text may appear to the right of the comment tail and is ignored when the line is executed. When an INDENT command is given, the position of a comment tail is left unchanged.
