C.B., Are you asking how to put comments in a Mathematica Notebook? Easy - use Text cells. The easiest way to enter a Text cell is to press Alt 7 and then start typing. You could also use Menu\Format\Style\Text. You can also use Menu\Format\Show ToolBar. Then the drop down box on the ToolBar can be used to select a cell type for entry. Place the cursor for a new cell, select Text and start typing. The best way to make a reader friendly notebook is to use Section grouping, with an intermixture of Text cells, Input/Output cells and Graphics cells. It is also best to use the default Automatic grouping for cell grouping. If you are asking about putting comments in Input code you can use (* comments *). The trouble with this is that you will lose the comments if you do a form conversion on the Input cell - say to InputForm (to post to MathGroup say) or back to StandardForm. I think this is a bad feature of Mathematica. It would be nice if (* *) comments were preserved.
