Continuation Lines
You can continue commands and command sequences on the next line by one
of the following methods:
1. Use the cursor-right key to move the cursor to the beginning of
the next line, then continue typing. Pressing return signifies
the end of your command sequence and the start of execution.
2. Use an ampersand (&) as the last nonblank character of each line
except the last line. If commands are stored in a file, you must
use this option. Note that tokens, with the exception of strings,
cannot be continued from one line to the next if this method of
continuation is used.
A command may contain no more than 255 characters, including ampersands,
and no more than 24 continuation lines.
