Using PICO from the Command Prompt

So it seems i was able to send a command to the Pico from the Command Prompt in Windows 10. However the echo response does not occur. So the command is able to execute fine and it appears, however without a functioning echo, the return equations are not visible, only the hardware that has adjusted from the command

here is what i have so far:

C:\>echo LED2.set() > \\:\COM4

this does in fact turn on LED 2. however i get no response to the prompt. If i change the command to 1+3
i dont see the =4 until i attach the device to the WEB IDE

i have also used:

C:\>mode Com4: 96,N,8,1

to set the baud rate. which after i can confirm with

C:\>mode

that is correct
