Does VBscript support " & _" for long strings?

I know in Word and Excel VBA macros, I can set a long string using
& vbCrLf & _
to continue the string on the next line. I seem to be getting an error in a
script using this. Then again, it may well be something else. So I thought
I'd check on this while I look over everything else just to make sure this
is okay in scripting.

Thanks.
Ed
