"\n" is not being recognized properly in Windows command line
<p>I'm trying to issue a command that requires a line break due to a formatting restriction.</p>

<p>I need to commit a file to a CVS repository, but the repository has a restriction that requires a message to be included in the following format.</p>

<pre><code>Change #: &lt;number&gt;
Description: &lt;description&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The command used to commit the file is:</p>

<pre><code>cvs commit -m "Change #: &lt;number&gt;\nDescription: &lt;description&gt;" &lt;filename&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>However when I issue the command it doesn't seem to be properly recognizing the line break and it fails saying that I gave it an invalid Change # and no Description.</p>

<p>How can I make it recognize the new line without it trying to issue two separate commands?</p>
