Help With Line Separators in Javadoc Command

[YerMom]

I'm learning Javadoc and have created a few classes to which I've added comments. I also created a bat file to kick off the javadoc create process. (I'm doing all this on Windows XP.) I have several flags and originally wanted to put them each on their own line for readability, but when I start the process, I receive an error. Here is how the bat file looked with flags on their own lines:

javadoc -d apidocs Person.java Student.java  \
        -private \
        -doctitle DocTitle
pause

Samples on the Sun website indicate that "\" is the line continuation character. When I remove "\" and put all the flags on one line, the javadocs are produced with no problem.

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

That's for UNIX. On PC use the ^ character.
