If the shell is invoked as /bin/sh, it will be in "standards- compliant sh mode", and echo won't interpret -n. If the shell is invoked as /bin/bash, echo -n will be interpreted. This behavior can be toggled without invoking a new shell via set -o posix / set +o posix (which doesn't appear to change how echo -n is interpreted in Tiger.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
