Echo/?

[Wadester]

I've seen a lot of knowledgeable script writers using "echo/" instead of
just "echo " when echoing characters to the screen. What is the advantage of
using the front slash? I don't notice any discernible difference between the
two.

Thanks,

Wade

Wow! Great information, Ritchie. That's the kind of detail I just wasn't
able to find anywhere else. Keep 'em coming.
