What happens when you use \r instead of > \n? What happens when you use \r\n instead of \n? Well, It's a bit hard to do this, in the middle of a password prompt. It tries to read in M-: (whatever control char that generates) as my password. I did try to do a C-g (a second time, after I got a "Non echoed text" prompt) and I noticed this phenomenon: The shell seems to chop off the last 2 characters of my input. Thus, "your-pw\r\n" would work best, as the \r and \n will get chopped out. In other words, this seems to work, but not for the reasons you expected.
