This panel allows the programmer to write a description about the program. Any printable text characters may be typed in this area. Additionally, if the programmer exhausts the visible space, the area for typing has a scrollbar in order to type additional comments. Placement of these comments can occur in any part of the program and will not affect any part of the program in any way. The programmer can place the section comments at the start of the program for the purpose of defining the program, or the programmer can place the section comments within a part of the program in order to define a specific section of the program.
