This is from some old C code that I haven't tried in a while, but
it _should_ work..
 
#pragma intrinsic FCONTROL hp_fcontrol
#define HP_FILENO(x)   _mpe_fileno(fileno(x))
 
 void TermEchoOff()
 {
 
 /*  Local Variables */
 
    short old_echo;
 
 /*  Code */
 
    hp_fcontrol(HP_FILENO(stdin),13,&old_echo);
 
 }
