Thanks, Chris. This will work with some shells and some systems. But "echo 
-e" is inconsistent. We now recommend sending Anzio commands in the form:
    /usr/bin/printf "\034%s\035" '<command>' 
For example:
    /usr/bin/printf "\034%s\035" 'FLUSHTIMER 0'

For another example:
          /usr/bin/printf "\034%s\035" 'PRINTER PDF://H:\report.pdf?view'
Note the use of a single backslash.

More details on this command format are in Anzio's README.TXT file - 
search for "/usr/bin/printf" and see the latest occurrence.
