I've repeatedly tried using send_message(0) to hide the input echoing, and 
it simply refuses to work. I've tried including it everywhere in my code and 
I still see what is being entered, except for that one line which ends in 
'Password: ' which seems to automatically hide the input. I've even tried 
send_message(1) in case it was the wrong flag! Anyhow, it seems impossible 
for me to hide user input with this function.
