I have comint-watch-for-password-prompt in my comint-output-filter-functions, and I just tried it today and I get an error with clear-string (function definition is void) I can see clear-string in fns.c and it's there in the DOC file but it fails in comint. More puzzlingly - to me anyway - read-passwd appears to work ok which uses clear-string if C-u is typed Puzzled.... Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau
