It's programmer speak for a remark. In short an aide-memoir to the coder as to the purpose of that line or section of code. Because it shouldn't be read by the program it is commented out using a \\ or ; depending on the program in use.

I still do not fully understand what you mean, using words such as "it's programmer speak for a remark," "an aide-memoir," and it's commented out." Non of these words, in quotes, have not explained anything to me. You need to speak in layman terms. Specify what program you're referring to when you say "it shouldn't be read by the program it is commented out using a \\ or ;." A programmer may understand what they mean. But to a layman, these need to be explained by providing examples using images, and in layman terms, using words that everyone, including a layman, understands.

@kmanning. In any file read by a program extra lines can be inserted that are ignored by the program but are helpful to the user. Those are known as remarks shortened to REMs.
If you don’t understand then sorry, I can’t explain it any better.

Regarding the extra lines that can be inserted, what program then are you referring to that I use to insert those lines, GSX or the ini Configuration Settings in the Flightbeam scenery folder? And what line do I use to insert the \\?
Claude:
"REM" can have several meanings including the following: "Short for remark, REM could be a statement placed in system files, such as the autoexec.bat, to skip lines from loading. A remark is created by placing "REM" (followed by a space) in front of a line. Doing this "remarks" the line from loading..."
As such, to "REM out a file", means to change something about the file so it will not be executed (or run) by a program installed on your computer.
If I wanted to make sure GSX does not react to (or read) a specific airport "ini" file, I could do the following: "REM it out" by changing it's extension. Here's an example: for "kiad-3d8ejl.ini" change it to "kiad-3d8ejl.ini.bak". Now GSX will no longer read that specific airport file. To reactivate the file, simply delete the bak extension.

We’re going round in circles. I doubt adding any remarks is going to help you if you don’t understand the concept. Given @FOD made the suggestion I’ll leave him to assist.
