OK, DOS gurus give this one a shot.

Why, when ECHO is ON, when I CLS, does my cursor go to the second line of the
screen, but after I type ECHO OFF and then CLS, the cursor does go to the first
line of the screen as advertised?

Note:  Typing ECHO OFF at the command-line is a nifty, dirty trick that one can
use on co-workers to liven up your day.  Give it a try.
