Sorry; what I mean is that the single- and double-commenting style seems to confuse people. It made perfect sense to me when I met it, but it does seem to have been one of the commoner causes of questions here. I agree that, if people read the comments in full, the style makes sense. But having the default setting commented out is, to my mind, counterintuitive. Roger
