Description:
Examples like

mysqlslap --delimiter=";" \
  --create="CREATE TABLE a (b int);INSERT INTO a VALUES (23)" \
  --query="SELECT * FROM a" --concurrency=50 --iterations=200

in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqlslap.html

.. assume a specific console functionality for entering multiline commands.

How to repeat:
Try paste it in cmd.exe on Windows.  It will not run. "backs\ash" is not a line-concatenator in Windows cmd.exe.

Suggested fix:
Documentation should not assume a specific console program or a specific OS.
