Hi. I like using the plain old text Linux without X for programming in vim. Just wondering why when I type something .... like say to launch a program I wrote, the command is echoed on the screen before the program runs?
like if I type>
$ programname .... its echoed like this on the next line
programname
Please enter your first name
If I am back in X at xterm I would type>
programname .... and it would just launch program like this
Please enter your first name
without echoing the command I just typed to standard out first.
Just wondering why this happens
thanks
