Rem

Indicates comments in the source code.

Syntax
   Rem comment

   ' Comment

   /' Multi-line
      comment '/

Description
   A source code line beginning with Rem indicates that the line is a 
   comment and will not be compiled.  

   The single quote character (') may also be used to indicate a comment 
   and may appear after other keywords on a source line.

   Multi-line comments are marked with the tokens /' and '/.  All text 
   between the two markers is considered comment text and is not compiled.

Example
   /' this is a multi line 
   comment as a header of
   this example '/

   Rem This Is a Single Line comment

   ' this is a single line comment

   ? "Hello" : Rem comment following a statement

   Dim a As Integer ' comment following a statement

   ? "FreeBASIC" : ' also acceptable 

   Dim b As /' can comment in here also '/    Integer

   #if 0

      required before version 0.16
