hello. I am using 'echo' in a bat file in order to
generate a log file (ie echo "I am now doing blah" >>
mylog.log). I am trying to add a few new-lines in there
to make things a bit more readable. I tried [echo] (it
says echo is on) and [echo " "] (it prints the quotes as
well) and also [echo \ ] (it prints a backslash). Any
ideas how to do this? Maybe echo is not the answer??

thanks
christos
