[Tutor] Line wrapping in IDLE possible? Horizontal scroll bar?

[Christopher King]

well, if you use a backlash in the middle of a statement, you can continue
the statement on the next line like so.

>>> for \
    i \
    in \
    ('neat', 'ha') \
    : \
    print \
    i

neat
ha
>>>
you can abuse it as much as you like [?]
