Displays a message to the user. Syntax: echo message where message is one of these:
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 macro console is open, however, the message is sent to the console instead. Note: If you are specifying a Client 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 &foo" button="button13"/> |
