Subject: Change stars as read-hide-char
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 08:23:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fu01nq46.fsf@yandex.com> (raw)


My apologies for posting here, I can't get posting rights at
gmane.emacs.help. My `return-confirmation' emails get bounced at that
news-group. 

The development emacs-27 version recently changed the default character
seen when entering a password from `.' to `*'. I want to get back to the
old default, but

(let (read-hide-char) "?.")

does not work, and my e-lisp knowledge is insufficient to understand the
reason. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Colin.
