RE: how to continue command on next line in program
Yes & No
Within the source code of your PRG, etc. files, Yes. You can use the semi-colon ( ; ) to continue the command onto the next line.
However, within the Command Window, No (sort-of).
If you are typing directly and interactively into your Command Window, you will need to type the command as a long, single line command. This is because the Command Window interprets presses of the Enter key as an EXECUTE command.
But if you have copied a multi-line into your PC's clipboard, then you can Paste it into your Command Window and the multi-line command will:
1. Appear as a multi-line command
2. Execute properly
Good Luck,

RE: how to continue command on next line in program
I think ( at least in FP DOS) in the command window you can type some stuff, then a semi-colon, then ctrl+enter, then some more stuff. The control enter gives you a new line without executing the first line so you can have long multi line commands.
RE: how to continue command on next line in program
The ctrl+enter "trick" works in ALL FPs from FP 2.0, all the way up to VFP 7.0 SP1. (I don't have FP 1.x installed anymore, so I can't check it!)

If you use ";" as a continuation character in a .PRG to keep the line from getting too long, don't put any "&& comments" on the line after the ";"
RE: how to continue command on next line in program
Jerry,
Actually, you can - at least since VFP 5.0 - and maybe even before. (Just not in the older FP 2.x variants!)
