This is probably not a bug but I have spent about an hour trying to
get it to work with no success. I would like to set the string
inserted to start a new full-line comment to "C". That is, the
default value is "c" and I want it to be capital "C". The GNU Emacs
Manual states that this is normally set properly by Fortran mode and
one need not change it. Well I can change it from within the editor
by typing
M-x set-variable RET column-line-start RET "C" RET
but I have been trying unsuccessfully to put it in my .emacs file. I
managed to figure out that
(setq comment-start "C")
Will fix the Text mode comment start string to "C" but
(setq comment-line-start "C")
does not do the same for the comment line string. What am I doing
wrong?
