Hello all, I've written a little Haskell program to get information from a MySQL database (great thanks to anybody reading this who works on HSQL, by the way) but I want to keep the user's password concealed, obviously. Currently I prompt for it from the terminal, but the problem is that it's echoed just like all other input. I would like to disable input echo when asking for the password, but I'm not sure how. I notice there's a System.POSIX.Terminal module, but I have no idea how to use it, or whether it will do what I want. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Best regards. -- Taylor Venable taylor@metasyntax.net http://real.metasyntax.net:2357/
