DESCRIPTION
     The echo() function enables Echo mode for the current screen. The

     tially, curses software echo mode is enabled and hardware echo mode of
     the tty driver is disabled. echo() and noecho() control software echo
     only. Hardware echo must remain disabled for the duration of the
     application, else the behaviour is undefined.

     return ERR.
