Korn -- an extended shell

man bash
> /echo

Go back a few pages, and you'll find echo *IS* a builtin command - along with test, kill, and several others..
Which DOES NOT show builtin commands
For example:
$ ksh
$ which echo
/bin/echo

I don't know the comparable 'whence' command in bash, but in ksh it shows builtins.
