One way to continue a clause on the next line is to use the comma or
the minus sign (-), which is referred to as the
continuation character. The continuation character is
functionally replaced by a blank, and, thus, no semicolon is implied.
One or more comments can follow
the continuation character before the end of the line.
The following example shows how to use the continuation character to
continue a clause:
Example 1.16. Continuations
say"You can use a comma",-- this line is continued"to continue this clause."
or
say"You can use a minus"--- this line is continued"to continue this clause."
