Description

The continutation marker is not shown when just hitting Enter (or any whitespace followed by Enter) until a semicolon terminates the "query":

ij version 10.5
ij>

;
ij>

Contrast this with the Bash shell's behaviour, which shows a marker as long as the line's being continued:

MD@sunny ~/derby/trunk
$ \
> \
> \
>

But ij should display a continuation marker until the terminating semicolon, regardless of what's been typed so far.
