Subject:   How to Echo Newline in tcsh?

I'm attempting one of my first scripts.  I'd like to echo a newline to make
a logfile more readable.  What do I need to do to achieve this?  I've tried
things like "echo "test entry\n"" but the "\n" is interpreted as text and
appended to the line.  Same problem with single quotes.

What am I missing.  The man page for tcsh indicated what I'm doing should
work but apparently I don't get it.

Thanks,

Drew
