Algol-W From, the Sites book, (Page 10, Section 1 'Terminology) [Dave,
I'll send you the PDF offline].
The symbol *comment* followed by any sequence of characters not -containing
semicolons, followed by a semicolon, is called a *comment*. A comment has
no effect on the meaning of a program, and is ignored during execution of
the program.
