The -e switch causes echo to interpret backslash escapes, similar to
how they're interpreted in C strings.  This causes the \n to output a
newline, generating two lines of output with one echo statement.  If
this isn't available, you can replace it with two echo statements in a
subshell, like so:

      ( echo -e "delete volume=junk-$n"; echo yes ) | bconsole
