- ECHO
-
- The ECHO internal command is used with BATCH processing to turn the BATCH
- echo feature on or off.
-
- ECHO [ON]
- ECHO OFF
- @ECHO OFF [new DOS 3.3]
- ECHO [message]
-
- Normally commands in a BATCH file are displayed ("echoed") on the screen as
- they are processed by the COMMAND.COM program. ECHO can also be used directly
- from the keyboard. It is useful in conjunction with redirection (see the
- NEW_TERMS REDIRECTION topic for more information). ECHO without any options
- will cause the current status (ON or OFF) to be displayed.
-
- The redirection characters (<, >, >>) and pipe character (|) do not normally
- appear in <message> text, but can when surrounded by double quotes (").
