[Gnuplot-info] why this comment does not work properly?

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

Dear All,

Wish you a happy New year first!

I tried to plot something like the following (noticing the comment on the
5th line)

p fil.'L10000' u 1:s w l ti 'AA N=10^{4}', \
  fil.'L100' u 1:s w l ti 'AA N=100', \
  fil.'L16' u 1:s w l ti 'AA N=16', \
  fil.'L8' u 1:s w l ti 'AA N=8', \
######  fil.'L8' u 1:s+7 w l ti 'GWF N=8', \
  fil.'L10000' u 1:s+7 w l ti 'GA'

But it complains "invalid character \" at the end of the 4th line.

This seems to me that comment within plot statement cannot be recognized,
is this really the case?

Thanks,
Jon
