Is there any possibility to have multi-line statements in startup script like this:

 

dbLoadRecords(“myDb.db”, \     # First comment

                                “P=prefix, \         # Second comment

                                R=suffix”)            # third comment

Note that AFAIK multi-line statements in other interpreters (like shells) require the newline character to appear immediately after the backslash, so your example would *not* be a multi-line statement.
