multi lines commenting

[Michael J. Manning]

Hi Fred

I have the following in my init.el file and it appears to work 
perfectly, i.e. I can comment and uncomment mulitple regions of text in 
  different modes using the comment character defined for each mode 
(e.g. "#" for R/S/S+ mode, ";" for lisp mode and so one and so forth).

As noted in an earlier post on this thread, you need to select the 
region you wish to uncomment (e.g. hit C-spc then use arrow keys or 
select with mouse) before you apply the uncomment function.

Hope this helps.

;; Comment and uncomment text
(defun uncomment-region (beg end)
   "Uncomment a region of text"
   (interactive "r")
   (comment-region beg end -1))

(global-set-key "\C-c;"      'comment-region)
(global-set-key "\C-c:"      'uncomment-region)
