So far, << ... "comment" DROP ... >> is the only thing I've found to work.
With some long programs, I prefer << ... "comment" 1 DISP ... >> so I can
keep track of what's going on.  The other thing that helps is to use more
descriptive variable (and program) names than "Acx1" or "BB".  It's more
a question of programming style than anything else.

There are other ways to do what you want to do.  For grobs, { } PVIEW or 
{#0 #0} PVIEW works well.  For algebraics, 0 ->GROB { } PVIEW does the 
trick.  There are workarounds for other object types, too.

Not exactly what you were looking for, but a place to start...
