Dear ae,

I've written some code to do exactly what you want -- like
Console.ReadLine(), with normal handling of backspaces and Enter, but
everything else echoes as the character you specify (such as *) rather than
as itself.

If input is redirected to a file, Console.ReadLine() is used in place of my
other routine, automatically.

This is part of a larger project which I plan to release to the public
domain later.

Please e-mail me at
