When I do C-h k followed by "M-shift-," I get this:


M-; runs the command comment-dwim
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `newcomment'.
(comment-dwim ARG)

Call the comment command you want (Do What I Mean).
If the region is active and `transient-mark-mode' is on, call
  `comment-region' (unless it only consists of comments, in which
  case it calls `uncomment-region').
Else, if the current line is empty, insert a comment and indent it.
Else if a prefix ARG is specified, call `comment-kill'.
Else, call `comment-indent'.


So I guess it should work. I have some commented text that I select with the
mouse. The I press "M-Shift-," but nothing happens.

I have then changed the value for transistent-mark-mode to "on" and now it
seems to work, but now everything gets painted in yellow when I use
-space...but I guess it ok.
