Let me see if I got your script right. You tell sed to work on the
range from "-c" to first blank line right?
Then you instruct it to comment the lines that are not already in
comment in that range (which in this case is also a paragraph).
It should work well so long as $1 is the first line in the paragraph.

Thank you very much!
