ECHO -- Begin text echoing, end rubberbanding.
usage:  echo [-r]


FORMAT

  ECHO [option]


  When  used  as  part of the DR; ECHO command sequence invoked with <MARK>, the
  ECHO command performs two seperate operations depending on the situation where
  it is used.  When you press <MARK> to begin defining a  range  of  text,  ECHO
  tells  the  DM to begin highlighting the indicated text range in reverse video
  (text echoing).  When you use <MARK> to complete a move window (WME)  or  grow
  window  (WGE)  operation,  the  ECHO  command  tells  the  DM  to  remove  the
  "rubberband" and move or grow the window as indicated.   You  can  abort  text
  highlighting  or  rubberbanding  using the SQ command. (By default, the CTRL/X
  key combination issues the SQ command.)


OPTIONS

  -R                 Specify ECHO for a rectangular region of text.  Use a  mark
                     point  and  the  cursor  to specify a column along the left
                     side of the text you want to highlight  in  reverse  video.
                     When you issue the ECHO command with the -R option all text
                     to  the  right  of the specified column is then diplayed in
                     reverse video.
