Lesson 7: ECHO The new ECHO command repeats, or echoes, whatever string of characters follows it. The character string is displayed on the screen with no further result, even if it is a command name. For example: ___________________________________________________________________ | | | | | :ECHO ShowTime | | ShowTime | | | ___________________________________________________________________ Uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and symbols appear as they were entered. Try it. Notice that MPE XL does not respond to SHOWTIME as a command; it merely displays it on the screen. Exercise 12. Create a command file that uses the ECHO command. Execute it.
