Hi all!
Does anyone know how to force the shell to create a line break between
elements in a users' .profile output to screen at login????
As an example:

pwd
date
cal 
outputs each...one after the other, like this:
/home/freddie

                   1
 2  3  4  5  6  7  8
 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28

How would I create a one-line space (or more as required) between each
command???
(sorry, this is really basic...and I'm really braindead after being up
since yesterday rescuing a machine after a crash!)

Regards & TIA,
-Colin
