Gee, I hadn't thought about this.  My echo has a "-v" switch that 
puts a \n between each argument instead of a space (so it's easy to
tell how arguments are broken up by shells and things).  I guess the
point Chris raises is that echo should be a thing that prints all
arguments no matter what.  Good idea.  I'll change mine and find
printf.

Live and learn.
