commenting sql code

hi,
I was wondering again (I'd asked this a while back but can't find in archives) ..... how can I make an sql comment?

For example this script .....
*******************************************************
select mazurek(1);
-- test
SELECT  count(*) as master_count FROM master;
SELECT  count(*) as detail_count FROM detail;
*******************************************************

gives me this result:
*******************************************************
test=# \e mazurek_test.sql
                 mazurek
------------------------------------------
 less references in master than in detail
(1 row)

test=#
*******************************************************
which is the return value from the function, and all further output is killed by the comment.

so it produces no output after the --test.

WASN'T THAT A COMMENT?  

I have also tried.... --test (without the space)
to no avail
