They might be comfortable with any number of conventions, but I guarantee
they will forget sometimes if you try to require them to change the way they
enter comments.

So we (well, the SB eventually) decide on one way, stick to it, and
implement it in programs. We can put a request in to Michael Lachmann to
change the insertion of "WRITE" (which is an improper use of a meta-command)
with "//" so future comments made in MLCad get the // (or whatever it is)
automatically inserted.
