title: Two newlines in one echo command
body: <p>Simply put, I've set a most basic text progress indicator in a Windows XP/Windows 7 batch file that writes just after a command line tool's output while it works, because it doesn't look like it does anything for a bit. I do so by piping the blurb after the command as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.exe -args "file"|echo Writing "file"...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This results in something like the following:</p>
  
  <pre>
  _______________
  |app for work |  
  |ver:2 10/2009|  
  |_____________|  
  Writing "file"...
  </pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to slip a newline in between the application's output and my output?</p>
  
  <p>Things I've done and failed:</p>
  
  <pre>
  |echo.|echo
  |echo.|echo.|echo
  |echo.&echo.&echo
  |echo [alt+255/hex:FF/ÿ/EOL][same again]
  |echo -e \r\r (lol)
  |echo.. (nope!)
  </pre>
  
  <p>The &amp;'s are probably delayed until after the application does its thing, and by then it's too late... Have I missed something? Is it even possible? I know this is not truly important, but I'm very curious.</p>
