On the Sun 3/50's here at Ohio State University sh and ksh don't
work correctly when echo is given a string that terminates with
a \c.  The output from:

	echo "Enter terminal type: \c"

should be the line "Enter terminal type: " but not terminated with
a new line (and with the "'s removed).  This works in every other
sh and ksh echo I've used.  Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
