OK Thanks.
It all must be documented somewhere.

Lost it years ago before I even knew about REM statements.
Good Song though

It's a pretty much pointless attempt to encourage coders to add documentation in their code -- a waste of time, I know, because "Good Code Doesn't Need documentation", but at least they tried.

Typing // before each line is too much work indeed, but marking the block and pressing Ctrl+# (substitute for the shortcut of your IDE) is way faster.

It may be that REM still is a part of VB, not because someone left it in, but because no one took it out.

I never used a REM statement in my batch/command scripts. I use :: for this purpose. REM still parses the entire line while :: is a label and the parser stops at the end of the label. You can't jump to :: so it works as a REM while at the same time being significantly faster.

Oops, I had this all ready and then forgot to post it - (very) senior moment.
A good round and a cut? Yes, that's a root. (7)

I am tempted to try and bluff the next one à la Griff: "very good, should be solved easily" or "I love this one".

Nah ... I set Monday's, is all. It was a good clue!

For once I understand a CCC OTD answer.
Frankly I am often just bewildered by them.
This was one that MM could have easily solved as well.
He knows all about good rounds, cuts and roots.
But like me was thinking, shout snips elephant.

To be honest, most days I am totally flummoxed by them. The one I solved was much simpler.

Yeah but as always the ones I know I don't see until it's answered.
What language was the answer in? Cause they spell SCROTUM funny over there.

Same for me with this Parsnip sh*t but at least I understood it then.
Often the answer bewilders me more than the clue.

Haha. You are correct, they do a lot of funny things over there and they shouldn't be using language in the lounge.

Beat me to it - but I don't think @ codes work in subject lines.

How do you use this to send a PM ?

You can't - you have to use the "Email" link at the foot of a message (if it's there, some members disable it).
That sends a message to the registered email address and includes yours so they can reply. You will not get their email unless they reply directly to you.
