     Syntax  @command
 
     Prevents NMAKE from displaying the command. Any results displayed
     by commands are not suppressed. Spaces and tabs can appear before
     <command>. By default, NMAKE echoes all commands that it executes.
 
     The /S option suppresses display for the entire makefile. The
     .SILENT directive suppresses display for part of the makefile.
     See: /S Option
          .SILENT Directive
 
     Example
 
          sort.exe : sort.obj
            @ECHO Now sorting...
 
     In this example, the at sign (@) suppresses display of the ECHO
     command line. The output of the ECHO command is not suppressed.
