Add comments to a script

In HyperTalk scripts, two hyphens (--) indicate a comment. HyperTalk ignores all commented lines when executing a script.

For example:

on mouseUp

  -- Displays a dialog box

  answer "What?" with "No" or "Yes"

  put it -- the user's reply

end mouseUp

To comment several lines at once, drag to select the lines you want to comment, and then choose Comment from the Script menu (or press Command-–).
To “uncomment” several lines at once, drag to select the lines you want to uncomment, and then choose Uncomment from the Script menu (or press Command-=).
