I think it's important to notice!

I have had some experiences and it seems there is nothing I can do.
And "stty" (Hello Thomas!) isn't the answer either. There was no way to switch 
off stdin.

I tryed to redirect /dev/pts/X  (sorry about this stupid attempt :-D) and I 
think you can imagin what happened: "operation not permitted"

The only way seems to create a custom window...

OK!

Thanks a LOT to all of you!
I stop off here with all experiments.
But I've learned a lot and maybe next week I'll join TAG.

I hope my english was not too bad.

Read you next time and many greetings,
Christoph.
