RE: tramp (2.1.3); cannot open remote files or directories using plink method

[Bryson, Stewart]

I tried the same thing with eshell... and it was a little more
enlightening. I'm getting some kind of extra character that's causing
very strange behavior.

Thanks for your help.

Then it must be an unwanted echo. Hmm, I'll sleep about ...

Maybe you can perform another test this time: Open a shell in Emacs
with "M-x shell".  Send "plink cerberus.mis.vanderbilt.edu -l brysons
-ssh".
Send password if needed. Send the following commands:

unset HISTORY
unset correct
unset autocorrect
exec env 'ENV=' 'PS1=$ ' /bin/sh

Show the contents of the shell buffer (hide the password, if visible).

Best regards, Michael.
