You get that behaviour with "print". It deliberately doesn't do that with echo for compatibility; there are lots of variants of echo around. You're turning on zsh in standards-compliant mode (such as it is :-/) and demanding that it doesn't respect the standard. If you want to be able to run things the same way on multiple shells, you *have* to be able to accept standard behaviour, you don't have a choice. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
