Syntax

first part of a statement on this line \
second part of the statement \

Description

Continuation symbol; when used as the last character in a line, indicates that the statement continues on the next line. Lingo then interprets the lines as one continuous statement.

Example

This statement uses the \ character to wrap the statement onto two lines:

to member "This is a long cast name."
