	I'm not sure if this will help, but the '+' character is recognized
by AmigaDOS (at least for the "Run" command) as a command continuation
symbol.  If you end a command line with a plus sign, the CLI expects that
the command isn't finished, and the rest of the command will follow on
the next line.
	I thought this was only for commands that are "Run", though.
