i just submitted some code that should clean up the mess. it does active echo cancellation on its own, instead of trying to coerce the tty into doing it. the changes also make win behave the same way as 9term: if you've done "stty echo" then you can edit with the mouse, but if not, you can't. so running "su" doesn't show a password anymore in win, but you can't use the mouse to edit in an interactive python session. win some, lose some. russ
