You need to configure TINN-R so it knows that "#" is the comment character. Then using alt+C on a selection of lines, TINN-R will place a "#" in front of every line. There is no 'begin comment' and 'end comment' character combination in R.
HTH, Thierry PS Note that you can uncomment an entire block too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ir.

I did Format --> Block --> Comment and chose /* for begin comment, */ for end comment but R doesn't recognize the signs as such. Maybe I should work on the configuration of TINN R?

I don't think there is anything in R that will indicate the beginning and end of a "comment section" (like /* .... */ would in SAS). However most editors (and certainly emacs and Tinn-R) will allow you to comment out several lines.

Is there any possibility to comment more than one line, like something which shows the beggingng and the end of the comment? Or is there a possibility to comment only a part of a line?
