Ok, a little description:

pmacros are pseudo-macros (full macros are supported in the v0.4.x of the 
editor). To trigger a pmacro you must type 2 letters (in your text) and then 
press Ctrl+Space, then the editor searchs in the pmacros list for one that is 
triggered with these letters, if there is such a macro the editor deletes the 2 
characters and enters some text.
The pmacros are dependent of the kind of text that you are editing so there is 
a pmacros file for C/C++ texts. The file is plain text and is located in 
%DJDIR%/share/rhide.
I'll sugest you to redefine the pmacro triggered by '/*' to create your own 
comments.
