/*  */ or * ; work in any environment

the other depends on how you are editing the file.  If using display manager you can use > or < on the line numbers to shift things.  If using vi you can shift one line over like you want then move down to the next line and hit . to duplicate the action you just made on the line above.

Subject: Shortcuts in Unix environment

  Hi there,

When using SAS in the Windows environment, one can comment out code
using the "Ctrl /" shortcut. I was wondering if there is any equivalent
way of doing this when using SAS in the Unix environment. (SAS 8)

I would also like to know if anyone has found a nice way of shifting a
block of text to the left or right by using a keyboard shortcut in the
Unix environment for SAS 8.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Fran
