Print command in linux

What is the equivalent of print for linux scripts? I've scripted in unix, but went to try and do a script in linux, red hat 6.2, and it said print command not found.

i.e.:

print 'Enter answer'
read answer
.
.
.
etc.

echo "Enter answer"; read answer; echo $answer

how to print screen in linux

Hi All, Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you do a "print screen" within the X-Window in linux. I'm running KDE, is there a utility I can use in that package that I'm not aware of. Or, is there a way to turn on the <alt><print-screen> function with the keyboard? Thanks in advance. VJ (2 Replies)
