ECHO OPTION With ECHO ON (Default), the keys are ECHOED as they are typed. If this option is OFF then the entered line is not displayed until it is finished. The line is considered finished either when all the characters in the line are typed or when you hit [RETURN]. To get the next line of the exercise type [RETURN] again. The ECHO OFF option should be used quite often since it simulates the normal typing situation where the typing is done from a separate sheet and therefore the typed output is not watched. This option also pushes you to watch the keyboard display to keep track of where you are up to; This is especially true when ERROR BREAK is selected. Hit [Y] for ECHO OFF. Hit [RETURN] for ECHO ON.
