Notes
and
Suggestions
If
you
do
not specify a switch or message, MS-DOS displays
the
current
setting
of ECHO.
Normally,
the
screen displays (echoes) commands in a batch
file
as
you
run
the
file. ECHO OFF
turns
off
this
feature.
ECHO
ON
turns
it
on
again. (Note: ECHO is automatically
restored to its previous
setting
after a batch file executes.)
ECHO
message displays the specified message, regardless of
whether ECHO is
on
or
off.
Specifying ECHO OFF
at
the
MS-DOS prompt
turns
off the
system prompt.
Use ECHO OFF when you
do
not want to clutter
the
screen
with
unnecessary information.
You
can
turn
off ECHO and
insert
your own messages to be
displayed while a batch file is executing.
