[R] use of split lines in ess

[David Andel]

Hi all

I am very astonished that R generates a "syntax error" when I want to 
split up a line with a backslash, which usually works in any shell script.

R itself generates the "+" symbols at the beginning of following lines 
in a splitted line so I've tried with them as well, but also without 
success.

Searching in the h-help archive did not reveal any answer either.

How is this accomplished?

Thanks,
David
