I'm creating a little script to configure php so I don't have to type
in the whole configure line each time.

the script looks something like this

#!/bin/bash
./configure blah
blah..........................................................................
blah .............................. blah .........................
blah


however it becomes very hard to keep it on one line. pico likes to break it up accross multiple lines. What can i add to the end (and/or begining) of each line so the one line command can span multiple lines in a config file.

You can use \ (backslash) to span lines.

Also, you can run pico without word-wrapping:
pico -w file
