The echo(1) manpage doesn't list this as an option. builtin(1) lists echo as both external and internal to both csh(1) and sh(1) but the sh(1) manpage doesn't mention echo. Under csh(1) ``echo -e'' prints ``-e'', but under sh(1): parish# sh # echo # echo -e # echo foobar foobar # echo -e foobar foobar # So, what does ``-e'' do under sh(1)? -- If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows, am I entitled to my money back? ________________________________________________________________ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
