{{DISPLAYTITLE:_ECHO}}
The [[_ECHO]] statement allows outputting text to a [[$CONSOLE]] window without having to alternate between [[_DEST]] pages.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_ECHO]] {''"text to output"'' | {{Parameter|textVariable$}}}
{{PageDescription}}
* [[_ECHO]] is a shorthand to saving current [[_DEST]], switching to [[_DEST]] [[_CONSOLE]], [[PRINT]]ing, then switching back to the previous [[_DEST]].
* To output numbers, use the [[STR$]] function.
==Availability==
