When `comint-password-prompt-regexp' matches comint output, comint prompts for non-echoed input with "Non-echoed text: " as prompt message, this is inconvenient most of the time when you dont see actual comint output and dont know which non-echoed input is required to be entered, this patch makes comint to use output string as prompt message when possible .. ----------------- cut here ----------------- --- comint.el.orig Thu Nov 17 08:51:11 2005 +++ comint.el Thu Nov 17 08:52:30 2005 ＠＠ -1718,7 +1718,7 ＠＠ (message "") ans)))) -(defun send-invisible (str) +(defun send-invisible (str &optional prompt) "Read a string without echoing.
