You are supposed to be able to continue a line by putting "\" in the last
character.  However, I remember playing with it years ago and deciding it
wasn't really useful.  If I remember right, the problem is that the
assembler is not smart enough to allow a separate end of line comment for
each source line of the continued line, defeating the main purpose of
wanting to do it.

I sortof remember you can set the maximum line length in a listing file, and
control whether it truncates or wraps to the next line.  On the other hand,
I find very little use for listing files.  The only time I look in a listing
file is to find the exact location of an error when macros confused the line
count, or to debug assembly time computations.

You don't mean real genuine "printouts" do you (black crud smeared on
smushed up dead trees)?  Is this for a museum?
