All translation commands must be on the same line. If the resulting command
after translation need to be on separate line you insert the '\n'. This will be
translated to a line shift when sent to the engine.
There could be some confusion when using f.ex. Notepad as an editor because you
have an option to automatic break lines for better viewing of the textfile.
If you want to see the real newline in the file you have to turn off this
option. It is found under the Edit menu on my Notepad.
