Displays a message to the user. 

'''Syntax:'''

echo ''message''

where ''message'' is one of these:

* A unquoted string that contains the message. 
* A Client [[working_with_macro_functions.html|&&function]]. The result of the function execution is displayed as the message.

The message string starts with the first non-blank character after the echo keyword, and it continues as far as the end of the line. For example: 

echo Have a nice day! 

The message is normally displayed in a standard Windows informational box (entitled Macro message). If the [[using_macro_console_cmdline.html#macro_console|macro console]] is open, however, the message is sent to the console instead. 

Note: If you are specifying a Client [[setup_ui_xml_file.html#mapping_element|mapping command]] and your message includes an ampersand character (&), you must XML entity encode the character. For example, to map the command echo &foo, you specify it like this: 

 <mapping command="echo &amp;foo" button="button13"/>
