don't echo and printf do different jobs ?
as i understand it echo will dump anything to screen, fprint will accept
formatted text args like "you owe me %d dollars",$owed_amount) or something
like that.
i kind of use print by itself (harking back to the old days of basic etc)
but use echo quite a lot. only use printf when i have to put cash amounts in
and stuff like that.
