   When I execute a batch file, it
shows all the commands being executed.
But when I set ECHO OFF , you STILL
SEE THE SATEMENT "ECHO OFF". This can
get perticularly anoying when executing
several batchfiles at once as you will
see a who column of ECHO OFF's. I 
tried ECHO OFF from the command line,
but lost my prompt. How ever, when I
executed a batch file It defaulted to
echo off , i.e. I didn't see "ECHO OFF"
after I executed the file. The 
problem is that when some commands
are executed in that batch file or
when another batch command is executed
in the batch file echo is turned back
on again. Is there a way to stop this
so that I no longer have to worry about
command echoing?

	Thanx,
