Why doesn't \c work in sh/ksh echo on Suns?

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...
