I like my own personal mistakes bigger and showier. You're just an amateur! You should (please, should NOT) look up some of my classics. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, either. BTW, there's a short shell script somewhere in the archives, shows how to portably test and set your shell scripts to just DTRT in respect to echo. Let me know if you can't find it. That's the way to handle your problem. I just wanted to avoid a lot of discussion in current on that. Too much noise on current lately, because of all the upheaval.
