Echo On/Off 

Normally, everything you type on the keyboard is shown on the screen.  In
other words, the screen echoes your typing.  However, in some situations,
you may not want to see your typing appear.  For example, when you are
typing a password, someone looking over your shoulder may see it or
observe it on the screen if you leave the terminal.  It provides better
security if the password does not appear on the screen.  You can turn off
the echo feature, so your typing does not appear, by entering

          :SET ECHO=OFF

You can turn on the echo feature, so you can see what you type, by
entering

          :SET ECHO=ON
