In program lines, comments can be inserted following to a '@' or ';' sign.
In the Equation Mode [EQN] this seems not to be possible, 'Invalid Equation' will be indicated. Is there a posibility to insert comments?
I have a big collection of equations, and short descriptions would be helpful.

There isn't a proper comment feature for equations yet. You could embed text in equations using SGN("text"), which evaluates to zero. But that is rather clunky.

I am considering some changes to the equation editor that would make it easier to add support for a proper comment feature, but there are a lot of ramifications to that, so there's currently no telling when any of that will make it off the drawing board.
