Newer or new

0 Some newer versions of 00sh00, 00ksh00, and 00bash00 include a version of 00echo00 as a built-in command that does not understand the 00\c00 escape sequence. On these shells, you might see output like the following: 00 01pre
00$ echo "Please enter your name \c"02br
02br
00echo Please enter your name \c02br
00$02pre
02br
00Because these versions of 00echo00 print a newline after printing the 00\c00 escape sequence literally, they defeat the purpose of using this escape sequence. If you are using such a version of 00echo00, you can switch to using either 00/bin/echo00 or 00/usr/bin/echo00, which handle the 00\c00 escape sequence correctly. 02br
