> Then: how do you shut off the echoing in a win32 system?

Browsing the Borland help files here at work, I found this:

-------
Syntax

#include <conio.h>
int getch(void);

Description

Gets character from keyboard, does not echo to screen.
getch reads a single character directly from the keyboard, without echoing
to the screen.

Note: Do not use this function for Win32s or Win32 GUI applications.

Return Value

getch returns the character read from the keyboard.
--------

This probably breaks pipe transparency (stuff working the same over pipes
and tty), but pipes were never big on win32 anyway... :-)
