Is there a way to hide ( no input re-display ) input inside REXX ( like the password entry, typed characters are not displayed ) ??? I've been directed to the REXXLIST NOTEBOOKS for previous discoussion on this matter, but I need the information very soon, and there are so many pages of information there. If someone could answer the question or just point me to the correct NOTEBOOK, I'd be terribly grateful. John M. Price Peon Site Operator The University of Alabama

The command you are looking for is "cmsread mask". It keeps the next
line of terminal input from being displayed on the screen. Hope this
works for you.

Price > Peon Site Operator > The University of Alabama Why not use the REXX/Xedit interface and preface the area as "no display"?. Look at the filelist code for how to use EXEC and Xedit: it is directly appli- cable as am example (there are other modules written in REXX, but I can't re- member their names) Please no flames: I haven't done something like this for about a year (I've been struggling in the land of UNIX!)
