What is this supposed to do?  Is it the fix for many shells retyping the
commands you send them?  (If so, it doesn't seem to work on my unix.)

"stty nl -echo"  tells your shell to stop echoing newline characters to
your terminal.  It only cures one of many possible problems with one's
tty interaction.  For other problems you might have, try looking at the
man pages on "stty" and "tset".
