| k=0 | : The new variable values are displayed if required (see help on semi or comma). | 
| k=-1 | : the exec file or scilab function executes silently. (this is the default value for scilab functions) | 
| k=1 or k=3 | : each line of instructions is echoed preceded of the prompt. The new variable values are displayed if required. This is the default for exec files. | 
| k=7 | : The new variable values are displayed if required, each line of instructions is echoed (if possible) and a prompt (>>) is issued after each line waiting for a carriage return. | 
line display is disable for compiled scilab function (see getf or comp)
