If someone would be so kind as to post a quick example as how to format code so one line can appear on 2 or more lines. Basically, I need to take one LONG line of code and break it down so it's easy to read and I don't have to scroll far to the left to read it, and then scroll all the way right again to get back to my code. (I hope I explained that correctly!)
I KNOW I read how to do that in the Blue Book or in the Help somewhere - but after 2 days of searching, I just can't find it!
Any help would be appreciated.

(I hope I explained that correctly!) You can use the \ character to extend a line, eg: mob var/test = \ "some really really really \ long string" Since most of the time this kind of thing is done with text, you can alternatively use the little-known "text document" feature: mob var/test = {" some really really really long string "} | |

(I hope I explained that correctly!) It's the \, used like this: this is a \ very long line | |
use the \ character to escape the end of line character. For instance:
world << "This is one line \
wrapped over two lines."
