I now see an ambiguity in my wording I didn't before.

I want to *zap* the comment entirely. Delete the comment syntax and the 
text of the comment itself. Not just remove the comment syntax around 
the comment text.

However, I figured out one way, but, it doesn't seem like the best way.


;; the following keys should all be entered in succession, but

C-x ( ; start macro
M-x kill-comment RET C-x )

;; Then, on the code whose comments need to be zapped:
C-x e e e e e e ;;; as many e's as necessary
