dennis@qumix.UUCP (Dennis T. Chen) (12/14/83)

The "stty -echo" won't work found in the New Csh with tenex-like file
name and command completion which was posted in the net by Ken Greer
about 2 months ago.  If anyone in the net has a fix please post to the
net since it is public domain.

That's not a bug, it's a V-GER!  Really, the tcsh thinks it's simpler to
always echo, then it has last work to figure out how to wipe out the
echo of the escape, and all that.  Anyway, if you want to turn off echo
for the execution of a particular program, the sequence
	% stty -echo ; prog
will always work.

% sh
should work nicely.
