How are you getting the text "in"?

If you're going to have a <STDOUT> method, you need a <STDIN> method as
well.

If you will be interactively typing in, I'd use a quick & dirty perl script
to gather your input   (  $input = <stdin> ) and then later, as you need it,
let perl output it.  ( print $input; )

If you are in the context of a script, and you have multiple lines coming
off <STDOUT>, you can pipe through the tee program which then sends your
text to both <STDOUT> and <STDERR>.  

Gimme a little more scenario, and I'd bet I can help you.

&gt; Subject: [ale] multi-line echo?
&gt; 
&gt; Hey guys, I'm not terribly familiar with all of the command 
&gt; line tools 
&gt; available, but basically what I am looking for is a 
&gt; &quot;multi-line&quot; echo tool.
&gt; 
&gt; I would like to be able to is be able to type in multiple lines then 
&gt; when &quot;submitted&quot; the text would be sent to stdout.
&gt; 
&gt; Something like vi(m) would be fine if it could just &quot;save&quot; to stdout. 
&gt; can it?
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks much!
