qb64/internal/help/REM.txt
Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

'''REM''' or an apostrophe is used for programmer remarks, comments or to stop the execution of program code.
{{PageSyntax}}
:: REM program comment or ignore code
{{PageDescription}}
* Comments cannot be read by Qbasic correctly and may cause syntax and other errors without REM!
* Instead of REM you can use the {{KW|REM|'}} symbol which can be put anywhere.
* Code can also be commented out for program testing purposes.
* Qbasic Metacommands such as {{KW|$DYNAMIC}} and {{KW|$INCLUDE}} require the use of REM or the apostrophe.
''Example:'' Avoiding an END IF error.
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
{{Cl|REM}} This is a remark...
' This is also a remark...
{{Cl|IF...THEN|IF}} a = 0 {{Cl|THEN}} {{Cl|REM}} (REM follows syntax rules)
{{Cl|IF...THEN|IF}} a = 0 {{Cl|THEN}} '(apostrophe doesn't follow syntax rules, so use END IF after this)
{{Cl|END IF}} '' ''
{{CodeEnd}}
