I've advocated using a template for doing XPL. The template file would look
like this:
;*; The purpose of  is:
;*; Date of last revision:
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;
;*;

Then when you type in lines, you start BEFORE the ;*;--e.g. this kind of stuff:

;*;
<.......XPL CODE...........>;*; comment
<........XPL code......>;*; comment
;*; comment or blank line
<.........more XPL..............>;*; comment
;*;
;*;
