Really, the avalanche of responses I've gotten to my question has been
heartwarming . . . PLEASE don't send any more!  I've long since given
up trying to reply to each and every one.  

And, finally, 

         ECHO. echos "ECHO is on" (or off) on Sperry DOS 3.1.

(Yes, that's ECHO, no space, period--anyone with access to Sperry DOS out
there knows that I speak truth.)

Sperry DOS 3.1 is one of the DOS's I have to work with.  ECHO'ing a delete
character, however, will echo a blank line on all my DOS's.  For this reason
I've gone with that option.

Again, many, many thanks for the overwhelming number of responses.
