No thanks! I think it would be better to keep the rules simple and
consistent as they are now, that's why Tom Duff wrote ``rc'' wasn't it? It
would be better in the long run to teach the students from day one, that
``#'' is a comment, and "'" is for quoting. Otherwise they might as well
use ``sh'' and it's derivatives :-).
Pete.
