Noticed something strange in RedHat's ver 8.0. In a terminal window launched from Gnome, if you type: $ echo 'abc\n' you get $ abc\n $ (no newline; the slash-n is treated like a literal.) In any other UNIX I've seen, you'd get: $ abc $ (a newline after the 'abc') How do I get the traditional behavior (i.e. echo the newline)? - Bill Thoen
