[gradsusr] continue a line

[Kevin Huyck]

I have searched for an answer to this question, too. To my knowledge 
there is no line continuation syntax in GrADS. When I have a long 
calculation, I break it into parts across several lines, often including 
some extra variables.

Example:
* One line
'define 
esat=0.611*pow(10,(7.5*(tmp_isbl-273.15))/(237.3+(tmp_isbl-273.15)))'

* Several lines. Note "undefines" when we are done with the temporary 
values.
'define tmp=(tmp_isbl - 273.15)'
'define a = pow(10, (7.5 * tmp) / (237.3 + tmp))'
'define esat = 0.611 * a'
'undefine tmp'
'undefine a'

Hope this helps. Good luck.
