I've been working on what is some complex coding with Scratch, and I'm looking for some way to add a comment into the script to explain perhaps some of the more obscure ideas that I'm putting into the script. Both for myself as well as somebody reading what I've done afterward.
The thing that matches this idea that I can find is the sprite "say" and "think" blocks. I'm just looking for a simple block that I can put a one-line hunk of text in that otherwise does absolutely nothing. In other words.... just a comment.
Even Dartmouth BASIC has comments. I'm just surprised that the only place to put this commentary is not next to the code but for the project as a whole, which is a different sort of internal documentation.

You're not the only one to complain about not having a comment block!
This is such a trivial addition to the language, and *so* essential for pedagogic examples, that I'm really amazed at the scratch team's resistance to the idea, since it was suggested already in the beat-release versions of scratch.

Unconnected say blocks would work, until you hit the "cleanup" button and your scripts got scrambled!
