RE: Commenting /free code?

Scott,

I do use this method.  But I think the fancy feature in WDSC would be useful.  
Mainly because by actually commenting out the code, you get the benefits of the 
color syntax highlighting.  But I'd only want the comment block feature if you 
can select a block and comment/uncomment.
