echo                         Command                         echo




Repeat/expand an argument

echo [-n] [argument ...]

echo prints each argument on the standard output, placing a space
between each  argument.  It appends  a newline to the  end of the
output unless the -n flag is present.

If argument  is a variable,  echo will expand  it before printing
it.  For example, if you type:


        set ECHO=hello
        echo $ECHO


the shell prints


        hello


on your screen.
