Command Window control

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to control whether or not input appears in the command (MS-DOS) window or not. For example, if I have a program that does something like this:

Please enter a Sentence.

I am going to the store.*presses enter*

Is there a way to control whether or not that sentence shows up in the command window?

If by "does" you mean the program prints the prompt on System.out

and gets the input from System.in then your choices are pretty minimal.

(Being able to use the console effectively is a long standing bug/RFE

with Java).

But check out Console's readPassword() method in 1.6 which "Reads

a password or passphrase from the console with echoing disabled".
