Spacing

Statements may be delimited by : or (more usually) by a new line. Indentation is significant. ... A line may be continued with \.

A \ (unless inside a string literal written using double quotes, or at the end of the line) means that the next character is treated as if it were a letter.

Spaces are significant:

Q2> 2+3 * 4
