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.
