     [stuff about needing DOS 3.3 patch to set echo default to off]

     One the nice features of PC-DOS 3.3 (I'm not sure about MS-DOS 3.3
though) is that Microsoft finally caught this pain in the ***.  They
implemented a new form of the echo command (@echo) that prevents it from
being displayed.

     Try "@echo off" as the first line of your batch file.
