They're line breaks, and are needed if you copy/paste, or if you hit the 
<enter> key after each line. What you pasted in your earlier email was 
missing the \'s. Either way, I think it is the cause of your "missing 
separator" error.

The \'s should be in the configparms file, unless you use one long line. 
They're not for your shell, they're for Make(1). The shell ignores them, and 
adds them to the configparms file, because they're between the single quotes 
of the echo(1) command.
