$My second question pertains to "ECHO OFF".  Is there a program kicking
$around that sets the ECHO toggle to be initially off?  I'm sick of setting
$it at the beginning of every batch file.  Has there been a change from old
$DOSes?  I seem to remember that if you did "ECHO OFF" at the prompt instead
$of in a batch file, it would ignore it.  Now, it does what you'd expect.

   I don't know of any solutions to having to type ECHO OFF at the start of
every batch file, but in DOS 3.3 and above you can change that line to
@ECHO OFF
and at least it won't show up on the screen.
