title: New Cygwin user with command difficulties
body: <p>I am new to Cygwin and programming so these are basic problems. I was using PowerShell to learn some basic command line usage but then I learned Unix is better for what I intend to do so I downloaded Cygwin because I have Windows 7. My problem is that I do not know how to write multiple commands. In PowerShell you pressed shift+enter to get to a new line but this doesn't work on Cygwin. My book says write:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ pwd
  $ cd ~
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I cant get a new line by hitting enter. If I type a "\" it lets me go to the next line but then makes me space to write new command. This cant be right? I'm sure it's a super simple solution but I can't find the answer on the net.</p>
