It is not possible in the standard language. Your compiler or your OS
probably offers some extension that does what you want. So post to a
different newsgroup. The quickest answer might come from browsing Google
groups - it's a common question. Echo is not a commonly used word which
gives you a good start. The FAQ might be helpful too, I don't know.
