    Comments are text in the scene file included to make the scene file
 easier to read or understand.  They are ignored by the ray tracer and are
 there for humans to read.  There are two types of comments in POV-Ray.

    Two slashes are used for single line comments.  Anything on a line after
 a double slash // is ignored by the ray tracer.  For example:
       // This line is ignored

    You can have scene file information on the line in front of the comment,
 as in:
       object { FooBar }          // This is an object

    The other type of comment is used for multiple lines.  This type of com-
 ment starts with /* and ends with */ everything in-between is ignored.  For
 example:
       /* These lines Are ignored
          By the Raytracer  */

    This can be useful if you want to temporarily remove elements from a
 scene file.  /*...*/ comments can "comment out" lines containing the other
 // comments, and thus can be used to temporarily or permanently comment out
 parts of a scene.  /*..*/ comments can be nested, the following is legal:
       /* This is a comment
       // This too
       /* This also */	*/

    Use comments liberally and generously.  Well used, they really improve
 the readability of scene files.
