.FUNCTION....: Echo - Output A String
.CATEGORY....: functions
.DISCUSSION..:
EXAMPLE: Fdate /Fe /P"My name" /q" is " /S"Sonny-boy Slim"
The ECHO function (/Fe) produces only the strings specified using the
/Q, /P, and /S parameters.
The /Fe function is mostly useful in conjunction with the /J (justify)
parm. Justification, if specified using the /J parm, is applied only to
the string, if any, supplied on the /Q parm.
see PARAMETER /J - Justifying Output
One nifty feature of /Fe (although one that will be of interest only to
extreme batch-file power users) is its ability, when used in conjunction
with /V, to put a character into an environment variable that the SET
command would not accept: characters such as an equal-sign "=" , the
redirection symbol ">", and the pipe symbol "|". However, as we move
into more advanced Windows environments (that is, NT and its
derivatives, Win2000 and XP), the /V parm will no longer work, and this nifty feature
will no longer be available.
