Hey Mark,
Yes. I posted to the list several hours ago about calling bash's echo with -n from 'do shell script'.
You're right about \c in the sh echo; it works:
set mySuffix to "What the blinking hell?"
set cmd to "/bin/echo -n " & quoted form of mySuffix do shell script cmd without altering line endings
set cmd to "echo " & quoted form of ( mySuffix & "\\c") do shell script cmd without altering line endings
