mecho allows you to output any character sequence.
C style escape sequences like '\r', '\n' or '\x22'
are supported. Take a look at the beginning of the
included C source for more examples. I wrote it
because Commo's builtin echo lacks support of
printing characters like CR.

mecho is written in 100% plain ANSI C. The included
executable was created using SAS/C 6.57, but it
can easily be recompiled with GCC or any other
ANSI compliant C compiler.

Note: The program itself does not need any specific
OS version or even OS (I successfully compiled
it under Linux/68k), but this SAS/C compiled version
requires AmigaOS 2.02 because I forced it to use
utility.library.

I successfully compiled and run it on my A1k2,

Suggestions are always welcome.
