Select the lines you want to comment out, and do CMD+/ (forward slash) on a Mac. On a PC I'm assuming the same thing is CTRL+/

You can un-comment the same way, and you can also comment single lines out with the same keystroke. It doesn't really matter where your cursor is on the line. As long as a part of the line has been selected, the comment will include the whole line.

Ruby does have multiline comments, although they use a relatively strange syntax:

=begin
some text or code here
=end

Note that both the =begin and =end delimiters have to be at the very beginning of the line, nothing else should be on the same line.
