cmd's parsing can be inscrutably finicky and limited, but luckily
enough this example works:

    C:\>py -2 -c ^
    More? "def f(n):^
    More?
    More?     for i in range(n):^
    More?
    More?         print 'hello world'^
    More?
    More? f(5)
    hello world
    hello world
    hello world
    hello world
    hello world

cmd prints the "More?" prompt when a line is continued. Note that it's
necessary to hit enter again after escaping the first enter. Also, as
is usual with cmd, the closing double quote is optional, so I omitted
it after f(5).
