Subject: How to comment/uncomment multiple lines in slime+xemacs?

Message-ID: <errc5l$pr6$1@news.asu.edu>
Hi, I use Xemacs+slime to edit lisp files.
I want to comment multiple lines to debug different part of the lisp
file. Is there any shortcut (or function) to comment/uncomment a
selected region(multiple lines) in a lisp file?
Thanks a lot!

Here's how you can find stuff like this:
M-x apropos <enter> then type in "comment slime" and press enter.

You asked the exact same question on the slime-devel list. Please ask
such questions in only one venue at a time, to avoid needlessly
wasting other people's time. (If you don't get a satisfactory answer
in one place, it's okay to take it elsewhere.)
(But consider this helpful advice: C-h a comment RET done in a Lisp
buffer would have pointed you in the right direction.)

You gots to be kidding. And how long must I wait? And exactly how is
time being wasted if I cross-ask?

Nope. (But the transgression in this case is really minor, so I might
not have mentioned it at all. Life gets unpleasant if minor blunders
are pointed out all the time, but I think it is worthwhile to speak up
once in a rare while.)
| And how long must I wait?
No easy rules. Depends on the urgency of the question and the typical
time scale of responses in the place you're asking, among other things.
In this case, I judge the urgency to be low (the OP could just comment
and uncomment blocks by slower methods until an answer was forthcoming).
| And exactly how is time being wasted if I cross-ask?
I assumed that if the question no longer needs answering because it
has already been answered elsewhere, then time has been wasted. If
this assumption is incorrect, the conclusion does not follow.

All these suggestions are very helpful.
Next time, I should post on comp.lang.lisp first. This is more active
than other groups :)
Thanks again.
