Re: 'read' not echoing characters

I've done this. When I start up Kawa with the -w flag, I get a
java.io.IoException: Error when evaluating prompt:
java.lang.RuntimeException: failed to find class kawa.lib.ports while
autoloading default-prompter: at gnu.mapping.TtyInPort.lineStart. Kawa
starts its new window, and then a cascade of the above messages hits it.

The same happens if I run kawa.repl without the -w flag, except that the
messages go to the DOS window.

I'm using Java 1.2 - Sun's, I think - under NT. Full name output by
-version is 
  java version "1.2"
  Classic VM (build JDK-1.2-V, native threads)
