    Adding Comments to G-code Programs

    How are comments added to a G-code programs??? I would like to start adding them to my code to help identify the different subroutines I use. I know this is a simple question, but I'm just now learning all the "little stuff" about programming.
    Thanks in advance!

    Most controls allow comments to be placed within parenthesis "( )" like this:

    O7777(SUB FOR TOOL)
    G1X....
    .
    .
    etc, etc.

    Some controls allow other forms as well.... In many cases, if you place a comment on the same line as the "O" for program numbers, it will also show up on the program file directory of the control as well.
    It's just a part..... cutter still goes round and round....
