/echo

Usage:

/ECHO [-aattrs] [-e] [-w[world]] text


Displays text on the tfout stream (i.e., the screen, usually), unless otherwise redirected by options.

Options:

-aattrs
Echo text with the attributes given by attrs. (It is not possible to apply attributes to only part of the text).
-wworld
Echo text to the world stream instead of the default tfout stream (see tfio). If "-w" is given with no world, the current world is assumed.
-e
Echo text to the tferr stream, instead of the default tfout stream (see tfio).

Remember that "-" by itself can be used to mark the end of options, in case text begins with "-". See: options.

See: attributes, worlds, echo(), fwrite(), pad(), tfio
