! commenting problem
 
Seems that using ! comments in a trigger or variable causes any text being entered into the command line to be deleted when the trigger fires. Is there away around this?

! is not the comment character. The comment characters are under General Parsing. If not disabled,

A line that begins with ; is considered a comment.
A // marks an inline comment.

In the default special characters set, ! is the history character, which is used to recall commands from the command history. That means it would have to clear whatever's already in the command line. You can disable this, or change it to a different symbol, if you want. It still won't be the comment character though.
