The characters <span class="samp">*</span> and <span class="samp">#</span> are line comment characters; each
 | 
						|
start a comment at the beginning of a line, but only at the beginning of a
 | 
						|
line.  A <span class="samp">#</span> prefixes a hexadecimal number if found elsewhere on a
 | 
						|
line.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Two other characters, <span class="samp">%</span> and <span class="samp">!</span>, each start a comment anywhere
 | 
						|
on the line.  Thus you can't use the <span class="samp">modulus</span> and <span class="samp">not</span>
 | 
						|
operators in expressions normally associated with these two characters.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>A <span class="samp">;</span> is a line separator, treated as a new-line, so separate
 | 
						|
instructions can be specified on a single line.
