I was putting a multi-line comment at the top of a script like this:



To my surprise the script seemed to terminate directly upon calling. After looking through the help-file I found out, that /* and */ have to be at the beginning of a line.

In order to be more conform with other programming languages and thus with the habits people have aquirred by using them, maybe you could remove the restriction for the closing */.

Kind regards,

The restriction cannot be removed without breaking existing scripts. This is because it would introduce ambiguity such as this example:

/*
MsgBox, The closing comment symbol is */
*/

The above intends that the */ be shown by the MsgBox rather than be an end-of-comment symbol.
