NAME
     echo - put string on virtual output

SYNOPSIS
     echo [string ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The echo function  directs  each  string  it  is  passed  to
     stdout.   If  no  argument is given, echo looks to stdin for
     input.  It is often used in  conditional  execution  or  for
     passing a string to another command.

EXAMPLES
     Set the done descriptor to help if a test fails:

         done=`if [ -s $F1 ];
              then echo close;
              else echo help;
              fi`
