The _ECHO statement allows outputting text to a $CONSOLE window without having to alternate between _DEST pages.

_ECHO {"text to output" | textVariable$}

_ECHO is a shorthand to saving current _DEST, switching to _DEST _CONSOLE, PRINTing, then switching back to the previous _DEST.
To output numbers, use the STR$ function.

$CONSOLE
PRINT "this will show in the main window"
_ECHO "this will show in the console"
