How to create a blank line in a batch file.

How to create a blank line in a batch file.

Issue:
How to create a blank line in a batch file.
Reasoning:
It may be necessary to create a blank line to help separate text from other text or move text further down the screen.
Solution:
To create a line add a dot or period after the echo command, for example:
echo.
An alternate solution could be to insert a blank character by typing ALT+255 in the batch file. Although this solution can work, we recommend using 'echo.' as it is a solution that will work in all versions of MS-DOS and Windows.
