Modifying comments
You can use comments to document your objects and libraries. For
example, you might use comments to describe how a window is used,
specify the differences between descendant objects, or identify a
PowerBuilder library.
You can associate comments with an object or library when you
first save it in a painter and add or modify comments in the System
Tree or Library painter. If you want to modify comments for a set of
objects, you can do so quickly in the List view.
