Wait.. Does anyone know a shell that has `print' but does not understand print -r -- -lfoo (we could just test for this, sure)? FWIW, does anyone know a shell that prints `\t' with echo -E '\t' but still does not do what we want? (I have no idea whether `echo -E' is a net win at all, probably not.) Regards, Ralf
