<ECHO 
"ECHO  
Displays message text and records it in a journal file.


Syntax

EC*HO ''messageText'' ;


Arguments

messageText	
Text to be displayed in the message window.


Description

ECHO repeats its operand in the message window and records it in the journal file. This is useful, for example, in batch mode so you can monitor progress. (On hardware with a graphics buffer, use UPDATE to send the ECHO message to the screen.) Quotation marks around the message are not required, but are strongly recommended. Quotation marks retain uppercase and lowercase letters in the messages and enforce the distinction between message text and nested commands. 


Example

EC ''About to Run FROUTE Command'' ;

UPDATE sends buffered data to the graphics processor."
