Hello all,
I am using xemacs 20.4 and when I log in to some of our systems I wish to
hide my password as I type. Is there a way to do this? I have searched
(maybe not good enough) the web and the help files for an answer and was
unable to find one.
If any of you know of a command, either permanent to be added to .emacs file
or temporary per session I would be grateful if you will share.

This list is dedicated to GNU Emacs, in GNU Emacs you can use the
function `read-passwd', see the GNU Emacs Lisp manual for more
information.

You may type M-x send-invisible RET, then the line you type will not
appear on the screen.
