rcp failure due to echo

Recently I came across a curious problem and though we determined the cause,
I still don't know WHY it happened. I was using rcp from an HP 319 (one of
the 9000 series) and the command was failing miserably. I should note that
when I run my .cshrc I echo out a "This is the .cshrc executing message"
(probably lights are already going on over somebody's head out there 8-).
Anyway, when I did an rcp, all I got was the first echo line of my .cshrc
sent to stdout (even if I had two echo lines in the file, I only got one
as output). There was no error message and no file copied. When the echoes
were removed from the file, everything worked fine. Since I don't know
quite how the rcp command is written, I'm still unsure as to what actually
caused my downfall. Anybody have any ideas? Please email since I don't
read this category very often.
