These commands change the behavior of the ECHO command, allowing you to prefix the text to be ECHOed with commonly needed values such as timestamps, etc. All commands in this series will expand any variable in the optional "Text".

For example:

C:\GuardPost>SET "var=My message"
C:\GuardPost>%.ldtEcho% %var%
