Don't forget, AT&T "enhanced" echo(1) -- until it broke -- so there are
*two* versions of echo in SunOS:
	/usr/bin/echo	-- BSD version
	/usr/5bin/echo	-- ATT version
Just to confuse things, *both* versions echo are also built into sh.
It works out which one you want by noting whether you search /usr/5bin
before (you get the ATT version) or after (you get the BSD version)
you search /usr/bin.  THIS IS IN THE MANUAL PAGE FOR echo(1v).
If you haven't already got /usr/5bin in your path, just do
	PATH=/usr/5bin:$PATH
If you're used to System V, you'll probably want to do that anyway.
