computers command line ?

I have a simple question. How the hell do you dropa line in the command line of windows ? I want to add a multi line command but forgot what is the way to skip to the next line without entering the command?

I wasn't aware that you could do multiple lines at the command prompt without letting Windows break the command string itself into multiple lines so I would be interested in this as well.

You could try entering your commands in Notepad the way you want it, and save the file with the .bat extension (e.g. test.bat), and then just execute the batch file at the prompt.

If it were me, this is the route I would go.

& will separate commands (e.g. "cd .. & dir") Separate two commands with && and the 2nd will run only if the first succeeds, separate with || and the second will run only if the first fails.
