comment lines extended

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

while I am writing comments in a c++ mode, and reach the end of the
line, it automatically places "\\" to the next line and moves
there. but sometimes I need to hit <RET> and start a new comment line
before reaching the end-of-line for a new comment line. how can I make
it to start that new line with "\\" even though I have not arrive at
the end of the previous line yet?

thanks
