Gareth,

I have the following in my .emacs, which I use for that sort of thing. Just set mark at the beginning of the first line you want to comment out, move point to the beginning of the last line, invoke the command, and type in the string you want to use as a comment.

(global-set-key [?\C-\A-\M-s] (lambda (string start end)
                                              (interactive "sString: \nr")
(string-rectangle start end string)))

I use the following for removing those comments. Set mark at the beginning of the first line you want to uncomment, move point to the last line just after the last character of the comment, and invoke the command.

(global-set-key [?\C-\A-\M-d] (lambda (start end)
                                                           (interactive "r")

(delete-rectangle start end)))

--Greg

Hi all -- I know it is possible to comment out text in Emacs with `comment-region', but is it possible to specify what goes at the beginning of each line? I would like to `label' regions of my text files with different things.

best wishes

Gareth
