As John pointed out, you need to tell the Host (Hp3000) not to echo
the chars, which is done with FCONTROL (or issuing the CI commands).

The above escape sequences, tell Reflection to turn its echo of
chars on (1L) or off (0L).

"normal" operation would be
    Reflection inputs keyboard char
    Reflection sends char to Host
    Host "echos" char by sending it back to Reflection
    Reflection then prints char.

With local echo on (%33&k1L),
    Reflection inputs keyboard char
    Reflection prints char (local echo)
    Reflection sends char to Host
    Host "echos" char by sending it back to Reflection
    Reflection then prints char.
