commenting in Scheme mode

commenting in Scheme mode

[Lowell]

When I use the command 'comment-region' in scheme mode, it inserts one 
semicolon at the beginning of each line. How can I make it insert 2 
semicolons instead?

Does it help to frob the variable comment-start?

Maybe M-; instead of comment-region works better?  (Only in
transient-mark-mode, though, and only on Emacs 21.2 or 21.3.  I have
no idea what happens on XEmacs.)

Set `comment-add' in your scheme-mode-hook.
I also recommend setting comment-style to `indent' (or any other value than
the `plain' default).

What does frob mean?

Nope. M-; also only adds one semicolon to the beginning of a line.
