  Syntax:   text \
            text
 
  Description:
 
     Enables an assembly-language statement to continue on the next
     line, ignoring the line break. You can join any number of physical
     lines with this method. A backslash occurring inside a comment
     or string is not considered to be a line-continuation character.
     Logical lines cannot exceed a total of 512 characters.
 
     Comments can appear to the right of the \. A backslash is not
     required on a line ending with a comma.
