Thanks to everyone for their input.  I've got some good help.  What I'm trying
to do is turn echo off so a file password can be entered.  I set 2 variables
_off = chr(27)+';'  and _on = chr(27)+':'

I created an input statement:   input px,'Enter file password !_off '

I thought this would turn echo off but it doesn't.  I need to turn echo off,
allow the user to enter the password and then turn echo back on.
What am I missing/doing wrong here.

Thanks,

btw,  Wirt thanks for the table....but the esc; and esc: weren't listed in your
table.  The other escape codes will come in handy in the future.
