Tab and Enter

Do Tab or Enter behave like a command in some cases? For example,
I had been trying to plot with gnuplot by usinf shell script like command inside:

cat plot.gnu gives :
plot 'datafile1' , \
'datafile2'

Now gnuplot doesn't recognize the newline command "\"
unless I use "enter" in the vi-editor.
i.e. gnuplot -persist plot.gnu doesn't work

Similarly I found that commands are not recognized in Makefile if I don't specifically use "tab" space inside the vi-editor.
(I could have made a tab-space by using 'echo' in a shell script file, but that doesn't work!)

Thank you in advance.

XPL2GPL(1)						      General Commands Manual							XPL2GPL(1)

NAME
xpl2gpl - Convert tcptrace-style xplot input to gnuplot input. SYNOPSIS
xpl2gpl [-s] <file_name> DESCRIPTION
xpl2gpl is a utility that converters tcptrace-style xplot input to gnuplot input. This converter gives a nearly perfect gnuplot reproduc- tion of the corresponding xplot graph. OPTIONS
-s Seperate files. If you wish to plot only some data from the xpl file, you may use the -s option, which generates a bunch of data- files filtered based on the color and plotting style. EXAMPLES
xpl2gpl foo.xpl This would produce files by the names "foo.gpl", "foo.datasets" and "foo.labels". Load the file "file_name.gpl" in gnuplot and it should give you the plot. NOTES
xpl2gpl is provided for convenience, as gnuplot is more commonly installed than the xplot package that tcptrace typically expects, and because xplot has not always been available in Debian. If possible, you should consider installing the xplot-xplot.org package and using it instead of using xpl2gpl. AUTHOR
