\ Line continuation character
For lines of code that are longer than 80 characters (255 is the
maximum line length), Turbo Assembler provides the \ line continuation
character. Use this character at the end of the line, because TASM
ignores any characters that follow it on the same line.
The maximum line length is 1024 when you use \.
Example: ARG a1:word, \ first argument
b2:word, \ 2nd -
c3:word ; final -
MASM-mode line continuation is available if you select VERSION M510,
M520. Strings and other tokens can be extended across multiple lines
if the "\" character is the last character on the line, for example:
VERSION M510
db 'Hello out there \
you guys'
