The [_ECHO](_ECHO) statement allows outputting text to a [$CONSOLE]($CONSOLE) window without having to alternate between [_DEST](_DEST) pages.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
> [_ECHO](_ECHO) {*"text to output"* | textVariable$}
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
* [_ECHO](_ECHO) is a shorthand to saving current [_DEST](_DEST), switching to [_DEST](_DEST) [_CONSOLE](_CONSOLE), [PRINT](PRINT)ing, then switching back to the previous [_DEST](_DEST).
|
|
* To output numbers, use the [STR$](STR$) function.
|
