I realize ':' and ';' add comments to a listing.
How do you remove comments?

The simplest way is to press ';' or ':' again and delete the comment text, it will make the comment disapear.

> GynvaelColdwind: The simplest way is to press \';\' or \':\' again and delete the comment text, it will make the comment disapear. Thanks. I'm having trouble deleting the comments I added. Here's what the screen looks like: ROM:076C ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROM:076C HL ROM:076C BC ROM:076C ROM:076C memcpy: ; CODE XREF: ROM:0771j ROM:076C ; sub_07B5+8p ... ROM:076C mov a, m ROM:076C HL = source addr ROM:076C BC = destination addr ROM:076C E = number of bytes to copy ROM:076C A is used for temporary storage ROM:076D stax b ROM:076E inx b ROM:076F inx h ROM:0770 dcr e ROM:0771 jnz memcpy ROM:0774 ret Notice my comments (HL, BC, HL=source address, etc.) don't have any comment symbol ';' in front of them. I tried selecting this text and pressing the 'delete' key but this didn't work either. It would be nice to see a 'low-level', row-by-row view of the 'database' to help determine what is going on.

That's a posterior comment. Press shift-insert to edit it. (That's what you pressed originally to create it...)

This worked, thank you. I will see if I can figure out how to use different coloring for the various comment styles to make it easier to differentiate them

BegPardon		August 30, 2008 01:12.43 CDT
No need for coloring to differentiate them: if the comment follows the disassembly on the right-hand side of the display, it's either a ';' or ':'. If the comment is on its own line and succeeds a disassembly line, e.g. ROM:076C mov a, m ROM:076C HL = source addr Then it is a posterior comment. If it precedes the disassembly listing, e.g. ROM:076C HL = source addr ROM:076C mov a, m Then it's an anterior comment (ins).
