Dennis,
You posted this question on 9/3/2001 and it was answered by myself and an enthusiast. Here is my answer again:
"When I do this I simply enclose the entire expression in quotations. Then the expression evaluates as text. If you have the result of the expression displayed on a panel as numeric the display will evaluate to zero. If the expression is used in any numeric or logical connections it will evaluate to zero.
But, I assume, if you are remarking it out it's result must not be used in any important functions.
