   Is there an opposite to '@' ?

   Hello all,   
      
   Yesterday I got caught out by a batchfile (which I wrote myself :-) )   
   changing the current directory - I thought I was still in the old one ...   
      
   I decided that I would need to make that 'cd' (its output) visible (I've   
   used "@echo off" at the top).   I can ofcourse do that in a number of ways,   
   but the cleanest way would be if I could allow the 'cd' command to display   
   its output.   
      
   The question is : is there a prefix that will disable the "echo off" for   
   that one line / command ?   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser
