I am saving my syntax for my adviser but I need to insert a note in the syntax so my adviser can follow what I am doing. What do you use as a prefix and an ending so SPSS will grey it out and not try to run my comments and essentially ignore it --- I can't remember. Thanks in advance!

I think when you want to insert comments you use asterisks *Reliability for blah blah* . I don't even think you need the asterisk on the end, but I normally use two for OCDPish reasons? Looks nicer?

Yup, asterisks. I can't remember if it's one or two though.

I think you can use as many asterisks as you want - I usually use a bunch and make it into a row to separate different sections.

I use "/*" to start and /*" to end.

You will know if it works because the text will grey out.
