if you want to do multi-line strings in JavaScript, you would do:

var str = 'My cool \
string goes on \
multiple lines';

Thanks Kevin. Your example works as well but produces the same [WARN]ings in the console in Titanium Developer. This actually matters since the rest of the file won't be checked for errors.
