[ale] multi-line echo?

[Jerald Sheets]

Well....

How are you getting the text "in"?

If you're going to have a <STDOUT> method, you need a <STDIN> method as
well.

If you will be interactively typing in, I'd use a quick & dirty perl script
to gather your input   (  $input = <stdin> ) and then later, as you need it,
let perl output it.  ( print $input; )

If you are in the context of a script, and you have multiple lines coming
off <STDOUT>, you can pipe through the tee program which then sends your
text to both <STDOUT> and <STDERR>.  

Gimme a little more scenario, and I'd bet I can help you.
