Default Working with Cell Comments - VBA

For #2, to autosize
..Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True

I think better to change vbNewLine to vbLf

This code snippet will show you how to handle questions #1 and #3 (I'm not
sure how to do #2)....

Sub Test()
Dim OldComment As String
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C5")
OldComment = .Comment.Text
.Comment.Delete
.AddComment OldComment & vbNewLine & "I'm on the next line."
End With
End Sub

Thanks to peoplehere, I have a script that's working great for me but it
involves settings comments for cells. I want to to some more advanced
things
with the Comments box but don't know how.

1) How can I add a Line Return in the comments box when adding text to

the
box in the VBA script? I tried using vbCr and vbCrLn which work but it
puts
a square symbol in the comments instead of just a lien return. I'm
assuming
there's some other coed I should use?

2) Is there a way to set the size of the comments box so it's only big
enough ti display whatever text is actually in there? Each cell will

have
different amounts of text and I don't want tons of blank space if

there's
just one line of text and don't want it cut off if there's 5 lines...

3) Can I concatenate comments if comments already exist?
