Jerry,
echo will send its output to wherever the "stdout" is at the
specific portion of your script.
Here is a quickie to demonstrate:
#!/bin/sh
echo "line 1"
echo line 2
(
echo "Testing echo line 3"
) >/dev/null
echo "Number 4"
# end quickie
And the output is:
line 1
line 2
Number 4
We'd have to see your script to help further.
Have fun,

Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?
