When you combine the COMMENT version on a command line and the
command comes after one or more commands, follow the rules of putting
multiple commands on a line the trigger character only appears in the first
column of the line, and semicolons separate the succeeding commands.
However, when you combine the \! version with text or other commands,
the trigger character always stays with the exclamation point when you
place this command on a text line or a command line (see the preceding
examples).
Tips
Any text to the right of the command is treated as part of the comment
and does not appear in the printed document.
When you combine several commands on a line and make the first one
a COMMENT (or \!) command, TFORM executes only the COMMENT
and treats the rest of the commands as commentary.
