It took you 6 months to post a followup question? Oh well...
So, ok I set the x and v option and I'm getting a bunch of output. The "set -- -o emacs" had the usual effect that we discussed above. Now I'll try a "set - -o vi" and see and happens...
The "set -" had the additional effect of turning off both -v and -x. The "set -" was invented first and at the time, x and v were the only options available and so "set -" turned off all options. Modern thinking frowns on syntax like "set -" and now "set --" is preferred. Modern thinking also frowns on a single item like "set -" having that many effects. Now we have "set +v" to turn off an option. And while "set -v" and "set +v" may seem a little backwards, at least it's now one effect per syntax item and that's progress.
So "set -" is a historical oddity and should be avoided.
I'll check back next April in case you have a further question.
Hi,

Please anyone can help me what's wrong?

Hi,
Please clarify what is the difference between "env" and "set" command.
I guess set will display the system variables and user defined variables.
Thanks

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
