No, it isn't the behavior we have seen. It NEVER executes the external

$PATH, it executes the internal echo in "att mode" otherwise it uses
"ucb mode".
If it _were_ executing the local command, there would be NO difference
in behavior, because the external echo command does not expand backslash
escapes by default.
I can't speak for anyone else following along but I am thoroughly
convinced now that one simply should not ever use echo in a ksh
script. :-)
