I've been using Python for quite some time now, and I'm a bit stumped.
Does it really not have a multi-line comment? I think I must just be
missing something simple and stupid.
Thanks in advance.

Most people use triple-quoted strings
for multi-line comments.

How do you comment the block of text with Emacs? That is what I'm
using for my code editor.
I was wondering if a triple-quoted string not assigned would work, but
I hadn't got arround to trying it yet.

In Python mode, use C-c # to comment the selected region and C-u C-c #
to uncomment a region. The commenting is done with "##" at the front
of every line in the region, so it normally stands out from actual
comments due to the #-doubling.

C-c #
I use C-x r k to uncomment (kill-rectangle), but I'm sure there must
be an uncomment-region in there somewhere...

The only trouble with TCSs is that emacs gets confused more easily
than with '## ' multiline-comments. And recent CVS python-modes have
had broken docstring fill (still broken, actually, whitespace gets
collapsed sometimes... must file a bug).

Nope, no multi-line comment. The python-mode package which is available for Emacs and XEmacs supports commenting a block of text. You can also use triple-quoted strings:
That always stumped me as well. Any idea what the justification for this
was, Skip?

none of the other shell/script languages have one either. I rarely miss it.

In emacs what are the key strocks for block indent and dedent?
Man, I wonder if I'll even learn 10% of the Emacs keystrokes.

I can seem to get the dimensions of a frame in a multiframe tiff.
After selecting activeframe, the Width/Height is still really much larger
than the page's actual dimensions.
When I split a TIFF to several PNG files this causes a problem, becuase the
resulting image is (the page to the far left and a lot of black space
surrounding it and a filesize that is larger than needed.
Any ideas?

Hi, I'm relatively new to programming and I would like to create a C++
multi user program. It's for a project for school. This means I will
have to write a paper about the theory too. Does anyone know a good
place to start looking for some theory on the subject of multi user
applications?
I know only bits and pieces, like about transactions, but a compendium
of possible approches to multi user programming would be very
appreciated!

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
