ECHO - Echo String
Command Input
ECHO [PORT] {hexadecimal number} {'string'}
Description
The ECHO command displays strings to a configured port. ASCII
strings can be entered by enclosing them in single quotes ('). To
include a quote as part of a string, enter two consecutive quotes.
The hexadecimal number allows printing <NL>, <CR>, and other
control symbols. A hexadecimal number must have two digits
before it is displayed.
Note that one or more hexadecimal numbers and ASCII strings may
be entered in the same command.
If the port number is not specified (substituted by commas), ECHO
uses the current console port.
Examples
Example 1: Display the ASCII string to the current console port.
PPC1-Bug>ECHO ,,'quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' 0A <Return>
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Example 2: Send the ASCII string and a BELL character to port #1.
PPC1-Bug>ECHO 1 'this is a test' 07 <Return>
PPC1-Bug>
Example 3: In this example an error message results because the
selected port is not configured.
PPC1-Bug>ECHO 2 'this is a test' <Return>
