   It used to place the info provided in msgs written in certain echoes.   
   It could change the origin-line and the choice of taglines used in those   
   certain echoes...unfortunately, it hasn't worked in a long time. Perhaps   
   using the @ in this file will work as well.

   'Group' are echoes included in a certain group of like echoes   
   'Member' is an echo name, such as AUTOMOTIVE, OLD ENGINE, ETC..
