Entering Long Command Lines

If a statement does not fit on one line, use three periods, ..., followed by Return or Enter to indicate that the statement continues on the next line. For example,

s = 1 -1/2 + 1/3 -1/4 + 1/5 - 1/6 + 1/7 ...
      - 1/8 + 1/9 - 1/10 + 1/11 - 1/12;

Blank spaces around the =, +, and - signs are optional, but they improve readability.
