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
