Hi, man bash (bash-2.01) tells me that echo -e \nnn where nnn is an octal number should output the character whose ASCII code is nnn.
So, I should get: $ builtin echo -e \101 A $ I don't. I get: $ builtin echo -e \101 101 $ Why? Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
