How do I echo the words "on" and "off" in the command line?

Question

If I run the command prompt and type in the command:

echo on
echo off

It will not display any output. If I type in:

echo a

The output will be the character

a

Is there any way I can make the command prompt output the words

on
off

through an echo command?

Answer 1

echo.on
echo.off
