Manipulating character echo on input is a system-specific thing.
There is no provision in the C standard for turning off echo, or
reading characters without hitting return, or many other useful
but rather system specific things.

I suggest you read your system manual, or re-ask your question in
a machine specific group, or even (gasp!) ask someone at your local site.
