Thanks, a couple of remarks

    1. It does not work! I Presume you mean «C-c '» no «C-c C-'»? Well
       this is bound to  is edit special

,----
| C-c ' runs the command org-edit-special (found in org-mode-map), which
| is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘org.el’.
| 
| It is bound to H-e, C-c ', C-c C-l, <menu-bar> <table> <Calculate>
| <Edit Formulas>, <menu-bar> <org> <Editing> <Edit Source Example>.
| 
| (org-edit-special &optional ARG)
| 
| Call a special editor for the element at point.
| When at a table, call the formula editor with ‘org-table-edit-formulas’.
| When in a source code block, call ‘org-edit-src-code’.
| When in a fixed-width region, call ‘org-edit-fixed-width-region’.
| When in an export block, call ‘org-edit-export-block’.
| When in a LaTeX environment, call ‘org-edit-latex-environment’.
| When at an INCLUDE, SETUPFILE or BIBLIOGRAPHY keyword, visit the included file.
| When at a footnote reference, call ‘org-edit-footnote-reference’.
| When at a planning line call, ‘org-deadline’ and/or ‘org-schedule’.
| When at an active timestamp, call ‘org-time-stamp’.
| When at an inactive timestamp, call ‘org-time-stamp-inactive’.
| On a link, call ‘ffap’ to visit the link at point.
| Otherwise, return a user error.

Comments block are not listed and as I said it seems not to work, if
what you say is the correct syntax, then there  is a bug, since

    1. when I mark the region,

    2. Run org-insert-structure-template,

    3. Select comment, it should then lead to 

#+BEGIN_COMMENT
,**** WAIT  Computer
 :PROPERTIES:
 :Nr:       4
 :Comp1:    [X]
 :Comp2:    [X]
 :END:
#+END_COMMENT

Automatically, but it does *not*.

So I am a bit puzzled.
