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.
