ECH.COM

 Batch file command to display character or string.
 Just like ECHO except that it does not append CR/LF so 
 successive calls to ECH can build up a line of text.

 Examples: 
   Progress indicator each time round a loop.
   Redirect output to build lines in a batch or data file.

 NB: any space(s) between the end of the command line and 
  the redirection symbol will be sent to the redirected output.
