Help Adding Comment Block on Mac 10.5 running Scratch 1.4

I can not get a comment block to add to my script?  How do I do this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have tried the control-click and it doesn't work? Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
Thanks

That's not true, it's been added in Scratch 1.4, or maybe 1.3.

You say you've tried control-clicking and nothing's happened. Did a menu pop up? You need to select "Add Comment" from the list.

Otherwise, try left-clicking but keeping the mouse button down. This should have the same effect as ctrl+clicking. If that still doesn't work, you can always enable right-clicking in "System Preferences."

Figured it out.  You actually have to click on the script area background not on the code you want the comment attached to.  DUH! I should have thought of that sooner. Thanks so much for all your help.
