Correction: /bin/sh has a built-in echo command that understands the '-e' flag. What it doesn't have is a built-in 'which' command that recognises the other shell built-ins... $ echo "line one\nline two" line one\nline two $ echo -e "line one\nline two" line one line two Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
