This appears to be a bug in echo: echo `echo` should return 2 line feeds, but it only gives one. I noticed this in a problem I had with a form sensitive script that had to check the output of a command. Logicly, echo (without -n flag) returns a \n line feed after echoing something, so technically even embedded echoes should do the same.
A similar problem occurs with: echo -n `echo`, which doesn't return in trailing line feeds at all. -- Alexander Bedard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
