I noticed that the text files for RTC contain what would appear to be C-style comments, but are really just single-line comments marked by a /* combiation.
Support for true C-style comments (Everything after /* is a comment until a */ is found) would be nice.

clarification
ooops my reply isn't too clear
lines in notepad edits that start ; have no effect on the compile
it seems to me that lines in notepad edits that start / are also ignored
so
both ; and / inform the compiler to read no further
Sophia what is the significance of / over ; ?

Re: clarification
There is no difference.
The compiler works by reading each line in turn and interpreting it. When it encounters a / or ; at the start then it ignores the entire rest of the line.
Implicit in that is that comments don't need "closing" (as in C style comments), just a character at the start of the line to tell it the rest of it is a comment. In the examples however I've tended to close each comment - this however is purely force of habit and isn't needed
