Using StrongEd (http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/ or
http://home.eunet.no/~guttorvi/strong.html) you highlight the
region, put cursor at left hand edge of any line (in selected region)
and hit #.

(In fact put cursor anywhere in region and hit anything and it is
entered in same position on all lines.)
