Prompting \n

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

It's a well known problem to show/prompt messages with embedded \n under 
*nix. 

- Unix Power Tools recommend a way to define $echo according to different 
environments, but I found that ceased to work a while ago. 
- the printf can handle \n, but I found it produce much more trouble. 

So, I'm wondering what's the current solution to show/prompt messages 
with embedded \n?

Thanks
