  I am getting ready to call SAS about this, but thought that perhaps I
should see if anyone else had this problem, and/or a solution. If someone
does, please reply via mail, and I will summarize.
 
   The problem in question: I am using the SASCOPTIONS (also known by its
'Options' icon in your source directory) program to set my compiler
options before compiling with the 'Build' icon (which calls LMK with an
options file). The problem occurs when I attempt to use the nested
comments feature by toggling its checkmark in the Options program. (Nice
options program, THX SAS!) It sets and such fine, but when I go to
Build/LMK, the compiler tosses me a message to the effect of 
"*** Unrecognized -c option: -cn" (cut, live, just now, on the fly, via
Snap 1.4 ;). If I recall (I use the nested comment feature alot, love to
comment out a block o' code for testing), in 5.0x, the nested comments
option was -cc, not -cn. This may have changed in 5.1, but I wouldn't
know, there was piddling little documentation, what about 30 pages, mostly
a replacement for every page that had the word "Lattice" on it in bigger
than 8 points? 
 
  Anyone else run into this? If you go to try it yourself, the nested
comments option is on the 'Advanced Options' window.

don't hold that against me. It just pays. Besides, they don't know/care
what I do after 6 mountain time. ;)
