REM                      Comment or Metacommand

 REM [remark]   or   REM $METACOMMAND: argument

    Adds explanatory commentary to a program listing or issues a compiler
    metacommand.

      remark    Commentary text, ignored by QuickBASIC.

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:    QuickBASIC does not execute REM statements, but a program
                may branch to a REM statement; execution continues with
                the first executable statement following the REM.

                A REM statement must be the last statement in a program
                line (QuickBASIC ignores everything after the REM
                keyword).

                A single quote mark (apostrophe) can is equivalent to REM,
                with the following exceptions:

                    A single quote can be used to attach a comment at the
                    end of an existing program statement. A REM comment
                    cannot written this way; it must be in a program
                    statement by itself.

                    A single quote cannot be used before a metastatement.
