I thought Mathematica could accommodate line breaks (introduced with
the RETURN key).  However, I get the incorrect results from the following
simple addition.  What am I missing?

In[1]:=

.5
+ 1.

Out[1]
1.

I know that putting the operator at the end of the first line will
give the correct result.  As in

In[2]:=

.5 +
1.

Out[2]
1.5

But when adding a column of numbers, it is nice to have the +/- sign
immediately before the argument.
