Problem with echo in command window

[Harvey Kravis]

I have echo turned off in the command window yet my code is still echoed when I do a 'paste'. This worked for me in the previous version. I am currently on 6.0.3.893. Is there a way to turn off the echoing?

I believe this is the correct behavior. SQL*Plus does the same.

If that's the case, then what's the point of being able to turn echo on and off?

It suppresses command echoing when executing a script. This way the script will only display the output that is generated by the commands themselves.

It does not affect commands entered on the command-line.
