    Thanks for the help, it worked. I find it interesting that FreeBSD's 
echo man page does not mention the -e option is needed  to
     enable  backslash escapes. I   remembered  why it worked on linux 
is because i created an  echo alias with the -e option.
     So i will do the same for FreeBSD.
