On a Sun sh or ksh check to see if /usr/5bin is before /usr/bin and acts
as if it were that type of echo. Rather than play with the PATH which I
assume you have the way you want it, use:
	alias echo="print -"		# for \c echo
	-or-
	alias echo=/bin/echo		# for -n echo

obviously this is for ksh only...
