how can i print the values of variables in ksh using echo???

edit by bakunin: if you have different questions please use different threads, please. And on a personal note, you might consider to read (and follow!) this: How to ask questions the smart way

If you already "know" that you want to print variables using "echo", why do you have to ask us?

You should'nt do it, because in Korn shell the correct (built-in) way of printing variables is to use "print".
