You must be young since you still have stars in your eyes.  Think pound
signs instead.  Examples follow:

	procedure main()
		write(&clock)	# print the current time

		write(&date)	# print the current date

		# print more information on the time and date
		write(&dateline)
	end

At least you're thinking about comments!
