Is there and easier way to comment.
« on: August 05, 2006, 11:53:11 AM »
I'm looking for an easier way to add comments/notes to my g-code other than enclosing the line in Parentathes.  I'm not a great typist and would like to know if there is a single stroke method such as a semi-colon, apostrophe, slash, dash,etc.
Thanks
Eugene

I found some answers in the Mach3 manual, of course the last place I looked after 3 hours of searching the forums. 

I can't get Mach3 to accept the // for a comment.  Any ideas?

Also, how do I turn on block delete?

thanks again.

Thanks guys. The semicolon definately works as does the % symbol and of course parenthesis.  The slash / works with block delete enabled only.  I think I will stick with the semicolon as it's the easiest.
