What difficulties are you having when you read them?

>but for echo I don't have -e, it just has -n? Is -e part of bash?

Different shells implement the echo command in different ways. While the basic 
echo command is portable, the options aren't always the same from shell to 
shell. To find out which shell you're running, issue the following command:

   echo $SHELL

Note that SHELL in the command above is in uppercase.

If you put it all in a script, however, the shell you're running doesn't matter 
because the shell you specify on the first line of the script, i.e. on the 
#!/bin/whatever line, will be used when the script is run.
