I'm running an Oracle program called sqlplus.exe under cygwin and have 
noticed a rather strange behaviour. Und cygwin, if you let it prompt you 
for the password, it echoes the password back. Under the Windows command 
line it does not. This started when I added the line "set CYGWIN=tty" to 
the batch file that launches my cygwin ksh. I wanted that line do that ^Z 
and ^D worked as they do in a unix ksh. Is there a setting that will give 
me both unix control character behaviour and hide the password while it's 
being entered? I've looked for documentation on the CYGWIN variable and 
have only found a couple of lines at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-
env.html.

Thanks in advance.
