When using cmd.exe, when I am prompted for a password, no characters are
displayed, but the password gets entered. However, when I use mintty, the
characters I type at the password prompt are displayed. TERM=xterm. How
can I stop this from happening?
In cmd.exe:

I use pdksh as my login shell - I have been using the Korn shell (thanks
Dave!) since 1984 or so, so it is what I am used to and has features I
haven't been able to find in bash - at least not yet. So to expedite
script writing, I use the ksh language and features Every time that I

- Support DEC Backarrow Key Mode escape sequences (ESC [ ? 67 h,
ESC [ ? 67 l) in Windows cons
When using the "set -o vi" mode in pdksh, the backspace key is no longer a
movement key - it does not make the cursor move to the left over the
existing characters leaving them unchanged when the command line edit mode
is entered using the ESC key. The cursor does not move at all.
