I can't seem to get sh -c to recognize newline.  Tcsh -c works.
I'm using echo as an example but I'm actually trying to build a here-document.

%%%sh -c  "echo \nhello"
nhello

%%%sh -c  "echo \\nhello"
nhello

%%%sh -c  "echo \\\nhello"
\nhello

%%%tcsh -c  "echo \nhello"
nhello

%%%tcsh -c  "echo \\nhello"
\nhello

%%%tcsh -c "echo \\\nhello"

hello
