Re: How make comment-region NOT ignore blank lines but comment out those too?

You were right! It worked!!! Now Emacs (CVS version) comments out empty lines!
It's great! Thanks for all the help.

Can I ask you one more question about this?....

I noticed that the empty lines when they get commented have whitespace
after the comment character.....

e.g. a blank line ---> "#  \n"
instead of                 "#\n"

Is it too much to ask to try to make comment-region change blanks to "#\n" instead
of "#  \n"????
