   If there a way to change the type of comment added when using "Edit->Comments->Stream" (or "Edit->Comments->Block")? I use D which allows either /*...*/ or /+...+/ as block comments, but the /*...*/ style doesn't nest like the other one does, so I find it best to avoid it. Unfortunately, PN keeps using the /*...*/ style, so I always have to add block comments manually instead of using a keyboard shortcut. I'm getting real tired of that.

   Is there a way to change that? I hope there is, but I haven't been able to find one.

   I'm still not aware of anything in the PN UI to do that, but I found a hack that'll work. Posting it here for anyone else that cares:

   Open "{pn directory}/schemes/d.scheme". It's an XML file. Go to "Scheme/language/comments" and change the attributes in that tag.

   Not so much a hack, that's currently the only way to do it :)

   People don't change comment styles too often, that's why there's no UI for this (yet).
