There is controversy over whether echo should behave like commercial unix flavors or otherwise. I personally prefer it to behave like System V and interpret those options. But others disagree. And so depending upon who compiled up your software they may have been compiled as available for use or they may be available only if you specify a -e option. Try: echo -e "prompt: \c" man echo Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
