1610.0. "Character echoing ?" by IJSAPL::BROUWERS () Fri Oct 20 1989 04:40

    Which node does and when is a character echod in a client-server
    environment? I mean when i type in a string of characters, is every
    character echod after processed by the client or will the character be
    echod parallel to the generated event to the client?
    Can i make the program in a way that only one event is send to the
    client after the return key is hit ?
    How does this work with the decwindowterminal operating with the LAT
    protocol ?
    Will the echoing processed here by the client ?
    
    Thanks for replies.

	Regardless of what transport you are using (LAT, DECNET, TCP, LOCAL), if you are typing into an X server, before you see the character echo, it has travelled all the way to the client and back. This is the way X works. There is no way to tell the server to echo locally. We tried to convince the X folks to define a cterm-like protocol back in the early days of X, but it was too hard a sell.
