How to say comments
Comments, or remarks, are a way to talk to yourself while talking to Logo. Usually your comments serve as reminders for you, and thus, they are completely ignored by Logo.
You can write whatever you like in your comments. There are no rule to keep up with except one - Logo must understand where your comments start and end.
There are two types of comments in Logo - short and long. Short comments start with the word

and end with the word

. They are called long, because the can start in one line, and end in another.
Long comments can host other long comments, so whenever you use { you must later say }.
