I noticed a posting today that mentioned invoking 'su' from an Emacs
shell window; however, it was for Gnu Emacs and I run Unipress Emacs
v2.10.  

Has anyone figured out how to do this from a Unipress Emacs shell window
without echoing the password?  

Also, at other times in the past, when I've tried to invoke 'su' inside
a shell window, the 'su' process would be immediately suspended.  Then
when I tried to kill the job, I was informed that I didn't own it, so I
couldn't kill it.  Sound familiar to anyone?

Please mail me your responses, and I'll summarize, at a later date, what
I receive.

Thanks.
