Oh no... you're not getting off that easy... hehe.

Honestly, you'll probably wish you never started, but I'm not getting
enough out of this bit of code to see how to make it do what I want.

Quest 1) How is the code determining what comment char to use?
I created a file some.conf With some commented lines followed by
variable value. The comments are `#', and yet the code uses '//'.
Plus there is no space after // . But seems like it should be '# '

The emacs code tries to guess the right comment char, but if it
doesn't know from the file name, then it asks me which one to use.

Quest 2)
Further, the already commented lines are not recommented as in my
posted example (Not the first post... I had it wrong there) So, In
that case, I can't tell at a glance, 2yrs later, what the original
suggested value was

Example:
Lets say we start with this:

# commented line1
# commented line2
# suggested value
my newvalue

Or maybe as often this:

# commented line1
# commented line2
suggested value
my_newvalue



After calling MarkChange, I want to see this:

# Keywords: whatever I typed
# [Keydate: DATE]
# # commented line
# # commented line
# # suggested value
my_newvalue

or

# Keywords: whatever I typed
# [Keydate: DATE]
# # commented line
# # commented line
# suggested value
my_newvalue
------- --------- ---=--- --------- --------

so I can see right away what was the original value and how I changed
it.

I tried changing even a few minor things in the code and right away it
blows up and fills the buffer with numerous threats and warnings hehe.

I'm not understanding the syntax much at all.
