Hello all,

This is quite a small thing but does anyone know why echo "\c" does not work.
It is suppose to echo without a new line.

I am doing a cut-over of a SCO System (IBCS2) to FreeBSD and I have loads of
shell scripts with echo no new line done this way. The man page says it is
valid. I do know "echo -n"

Thanks

Greg
