Description Thomas Preisler 2007-12-03 19:34:52 UTC 
-n appears before the prompt in the output window on some platforms:

   -n [Press Enter to close window]

It happens now on Mac OS X Leopard and Solaris 11.

The code in the dorun.sh script probably doesn't take into account the the default shell on the affected platforms may have changed and the build-in echo don't support 
-n:


--------------dorun.sh
if [ -x /usr/ucb/echo ]
then
    # Solaris' echo doesn't support the -n option, so use an alaternate echo
    ECHO=/usr/ucb/echo
else
    ECHO=echo
fi
