I read that, and it did not add anything new to what I already knew about stty -echo. >I'm going to guess that the percent sign in your prompt indicates that >you're using zsh(1).

After I run "stty -echo", the echoing stays disabled: % stty -echo % date Wed Oct 20 10:01:46 EDT 2010 % date Wed Oct 20 10:01:47 EDT 2010 % date Wed Oct 20 10:01:48 EDT 2010 % date Wed Oct 20 10:01:49 EDT 2010 As to the guess about readline, I only observe this problem with python (interactive) and ipython, but not with, say, the Perl debugger, which uses readline as well.
