Solve : Meaning of "echo."?

1.	Solve : Meaning of "echo."?
Answer» What is the meaning of "echo."? I cannot find this ANYWHERE. I know it does not print the ".". In general, is there a place where the functions of non-alphabetical characters are listed? For example "", ">" (used in redirection), etc. I have a copy of Peter Norton's DOS 5 Guide. It has a lot of information, but not on any DOS commands after 1991. Any good recent book on DOS? This site is very good, but I have trouble searching through it. Tomecho. is for inserting BLANK lines, mainly for formatting purposes or ENHANCING readability.http://www.robvanderwoude.com/bht.php#StripThanks dbam and Squashman for the answer and information about ROB Vanderwoude's WEB site.
