Escape Character


Hi

I am new to Cygwin and I am just trying to use the escape character example
is

echo "\t\t Hello"

but this returns \t\t Hello and ignores the escape characters.

I was looking for it to return     Hello with a couple of TABS in front like
it does on our True64 unix system.  Is the escape character differant in
Cygwin or am I missing something ??? any help would be great
