I recently discovered any comment created using ;- would place a line into the Procedures Frame on the right side of the IDE. Today I discovered That line can be augmented While looking at a post by AZJIO: viewtopic.php?p=644927&hilit=AZJIO+2025.09.03#p644927
Somehow he managed to type in Chr(9608) into code line 290 in that post.
That highly accented the entry in the procedures frame.
Where did he learn to do this??
What else is possible??
I searched help and history for ;- and got nothing but a few smiley faces in History.

andYou can also place special comment marks in your code, that will be displayed in the list too. They look like this: ";- <description>". The ; starts a comment, the ‘-‘ that follows it immediately defines such a mark.
The description will be shown in the Procedure list, and clicking on it will jump to the line of this mark. Such a comment mark can be distinguished from a Procedure by the "> " that is displayed before it in the procedure list.

You can also incorporate them in code Templates.
