[ale] multi-line echo?

[Keith Morris]

Hey guys, I'm not terribly familiar with all of the command line tools 
available, but basically what I am looking for is a "multi-line" echo tool.

I would like to be able to is be able to type in multiple lines then 
when "submitted" the text would be sent to stdout.

Something like vi(m) would be fine if it could just "save" to stdout. 
can it?

Thanks much!
