[comp.sys.apollo] How to stop the echo...

danny@idacom.UUCP (Danny Wilson) (06/26/89)

According to the man page for 'stty'

	"In a Display Manager pad, only the echo (-echo) and raw
	 (-raw or cooked) options are immediately effective."

I want to disable echo in the input window of a DM pad so
passwords can be entered in a shell script. (Just like /com/login). 
However, stty does not work as described above under SR9.7.

Is there a command that I can use to make the input 'go away' for
awhile; or must I write a program to do it?
