Multi-line commands in env file

I have some really long alias commands in my env file currently and it gets very messy when editing, requires scrolling left and right in notepad which is not nice to deal with. Is there a proper way to split this single command into multiple lines without causing an error?

Thanks a lot,

Cameron

Hello,

try to use intermediate variable.

Exemple:

set mytempo = .
set mytempo = $mytempo devices
set mytempo = $mytempo ../devices
set mytempo = $mytempo $SOME_PATH/pcb/devices
set DEVPATH = $mytempo $ALLEGRO_SITE/devices $ALIBPATH/devices $COMPLIBPATH/devices
unset mytempo

Works well here even for verry long lines and much more readable.
