I found in a script ``echo -e .....''. 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)?
