Re cat vs print: the purpose of print is to show values much as they are entered in source code, so quotes and escaped characters such as "\n" are shown. Cat is intended to provide a way to send characters straight to the console so the effects of special characters can be visible (i.e. getting text on the next line when a "\n" occurs in a string). Thus the element numbering is not relevant there. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.
