Mac OS X Script Continuation Character?

Some of my scripts have very long commands that go beyond the horizontal scroll limits of my screen (1024 x 768), even with a very small font. Is there a continuation character (like the option+l "ell") in AppleScript that will let me break up the line?

Right now I just press a hard return to inspect the line and then press delete to bring it back toghether.

Thanks in advance...Cassj
