---------
SET INPUT ECHO command does work fine here, as per spec. Just
how are you observing matters?
As a hint, here is an experiment performed to check your report.
define foo output cat bigfile.txt\10, input 10 NotHere
set input echo off
foo
(see nothing on the screen until Input times out, then the MSK prompt)
set input echo on
foo
(see bigfile.txt being displayed, then the MSK prompt after 10 sec,
say Connect again and see the rest of the bigfile)
I used a Telnet connection to a friendly machine holding bigfile.txt.
