What is the differance between " echo" and "print" ?

[ikan140]

An obvious noob question I’m sure but having read the manual pages on both and digested as much of each as I am able I cannot see the differance which leads to my next questions. If they are not the same why are they two differant statements? When should one be used as opposed to the other?

Thanks
