I'd like to echo a newline to make a logfile more readable. What do I need to do to achieve this? I've tried things like "echo "test entry\n"" but the "\n" is interpreted as text and appended to the line. Same problem with single quotes. What am I missing. The man page for tcsh indicated what I'm doing should work but apparently I don't get it.
