I am calling several OS/2 commands from a REXX script.  I can
keep the command from echoing to the screen before running by 
adding the "ECHO OFF" command near the beginning of the
REXX script.  Unfortunately, the "ECHO OFF" command itself is 
echoed.  

I have tried "@echo off" with no success.  I have also looked at
the FAQ and a couple of REXX books, again with no success.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

the following REXX script worked for me and the @echo off did not show

/**/

address CMD

'@echo off'
'dir'			/* the 'dir' command line did not show, 
			** only the output from the dir
			*/
return rc
