Use them freely and often, as they use up NO SPACE anywhere.
Documentation, either in line or otherwise is a HIGHLY RECOMMEND practice.
No. Only working code is compiled and downloaded to the Stamp. You are free
to use as many comments and whitespace as you desire. Most programmers find
that giving variables logical names and creating useful CONstants minimizes
comments and maximizes code readability.

Check out Jon's Nuts & Volts articles for useful tips on documenting code. I
switched to this method and it makes it alot easier to pick up where you
left off when you don't mess with your program for weeks at a time.
