So right now there's no way to do what I want if I'm writing a DOS
program ? I have maybe two weeks to get it into my program if I
decide that I want to try. I'd use it as part of a password input
procedure, you know the asterix replacing whatever is typed in at the
keyboard. Someone in this thread mentioned the text_IO.get_immediate
function, and I thought maybe I could try to use it and replace the
key code (or whatever I`ll have to play with) with the backspace
followed by the asterix, if I can't actually turn off the screen ECHO.

Thanks for this and all the rest. I'll go visit your site.
