The intent behind the Comment region/Uncomment region menu items is to provide a quick and easy way of disabling/enabling smallish portions of script on the fly, with a mouse gesture rather than fallible typing. It's the sort of thing I might use when messing with a gretl script in front of a class, where keyboard access is awkward. I can't easily imagine how it could work well on a chunk of script that includes both active commands and comments; certainly the code would have to be a good deal more complicated. Allin.
