I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?

Is the continuation character documented someplace?

The current documentation is a great reference.  The videos are good for 
instruction, but I think there needs to be some more IDE documentation, 
like this is the code editor, you can switch the handler views using this 
menu, the continuation character is \, etc.
