passing text in a comment to script variable?

Does anyone know how to pull the text out of a report comment feature and into a variable in the basic script editor?

Yeah I do this at the start of every program I run. Also keep in mind you can have any comment show in the report. It doesn't have to be a report comment specifically. If you create the comment, then place the cursor in the comment and hit F9. There is a little check box for show comment in report.

            IF_GOTO/EXECUTE.INPUT=="NO",GOTO = END

I show the Yes/No question on my report. That way I can prove the operator hit yes. I also run a log to know if they crash the machine and don't tell me.
