You have a couple of options:
o You can type /// when you want to break the line
  (this is currently my favourite):
  reg foo bar      ///
  blup , options
My favorite too. One thing I would really love would be an editor 
that would insert the continuation characters at appropriate points 
(e.g. column 70) and then adjust them as you added or deleted 
characters to lines. In other words, the programming equivalent of 
what word processors do with paragraphs. Does such an editor exist?
