Is it possible that the code that obtains the password from the interactive
user does not echo what is entered to $STDLIST.  Maybe the password
entered by the user could be kept in a CI variable?  I am having trouble
understanding how what the user types after streaming the job appears
in the $STDLIST automatically. Can you provide more details?
