I could be faulty but from memory you can install "bash" for Windows and get this working.

I'm trying to understand how (if?) I can continue long lines in the Windows XP command environment. e.g. in Unix I can do this:
echo "foo" \
> "bar" \
> "baz"
foo bar baz
I tried this in Windows XP:
C:\>echo "foo" ^
More? "bar" ^
"foo" "bar" ^
C:\>
(I tried to use the caret as a continuation character). but, as you can see (and try, if you like), the second caret is taken as part of the text to be echoed and not as a continuation.
Can I achieve the same effect on XP as I can on Unix? If so, how would I do that?
