[PLUG] Non-unix behavior in RedHat 8.0

[Bill Thoen]

Seems I can only get it to work by using both yours and Matt's
suggestion together.

This works:
$ /bin/sh
$ echo -e 'abc\n'
abc

$

This doesn't work:
$ /bin/sh
$ echo 'abc\n'

Nor does this:
$ echo -e 'abc\n'

Guess I better check what /bin/sh points to on this RH8.0 box...
