Hey, I don't know about Scheme or Self, but if you're talking about line
continuations, REXX does have that.  Just put a comma at the end of the
line and continue on the next line.  What could be simpler?

If you are referring to some other kind of 'continuation', then I'm not
familiar with that usage.
