I bet ya'll didn't know this!
Haven't you always hated that you can't make any comments in your superscopes?
I know I have, but just a few minutes ago I accidentaly used "¨" a bit, then I wrote something with spaces, normally this isn't possible, the superscope would just... collapse, nothing would show.
But here it did! :D
This is something really useful if you have large codes to get a hold of, and I know El-vis wrote a tutorial on 3D Avs scopes, here commenting to show everything would have been the greatest!
There is one more "commenting tool" I know of so far, this is the "¤" mark.
I am soo gonna love this! :D

Actually I believe AVS treats all characters with ASCII code >127 as a comment marker. If you use character 160, you'll get an invisible comment mark which looks like a space on most fonts. Will confuse the hell out of people :)
Important to note is that a comment ends whenever a semi-colon is found, not on a new-line, so you can create multi-line comment blocks as well.

¤ - Begins a comment, ; - Ends a comment.

By the way, if you don't know what I meant with ASCII char >127... hold ALT and type 0*** on the numerical keypad where *** is a number from 32 to 255. Note that the resulting code doesn't need to be three digits, but does need to have a 0 at its beginning (e.g. 041, 055, 0120, 0251). Alt-0160 results in a space that is not... :)
Most characters above >127 are things that are not used in English (letters with accents, foreign currency symbols, etc.), which are commonly used to . They differ from charset to charset though, so if you use a cyrillic alphabet, you'll find those letters in that region.

I've got these, can't remember upside down ! though... ¿º
But it can be done in word with ctrl+ alt+ shift+ !, But not anywhere else :p

Eh?
Works fine for me... are you sure you're using the numerical keypad and not the numbers above the letters?

2 dj coolman:

1. Use numeric keypad on the right part of keyboard.
2. Turn on NumLock to use Alt-characters in Internet Explorer.
3. Use any combination of Alt+something.

Just like this one: Äîëáî¸áû, nafique...
