Turning off echo in escript

[Madi, George]

I'm having trouble turning off echo in escript.  If I put the following
into a module:

======================
-module(testecho).
-compile(export_all).

main(_) ->
io:setopts( standard_io, [ {echo, false} ] ),
P = io:get_line( standard_io, "Enter some stuff > "),
io:format( "~nYou entered ~p~n", [ P ] ).
======================

and run it, I get the following:

======================
$ erl
Erlang R13B01 (erts-5.7.2) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]
[kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.7.2  (abort with ^G)
1> c(testecho).
{ok,testecho}
2> testecho:main(hi).
Enter some stuff > 
You entered "Hello\n"
ok
======================

As you can see, "Hello" does not show up as I type, which is what I'm
after.  However, if I do the same in escript as follows:

======================
#!/usr/bin/env escript
%% -*- erlang -*-

main(_) ->
io:setopts( standard_io, [ {echo, false} ] ),
P = io:get_line( standard_io, "Enter some stuff > "),
io:format( "~nYou entered ~p~n", [ P ] ).
======================


I get the following:

======================
$ ./testecho.sh 
Enter some stuff > Hello

You entered "Hello\n"

$
======================


The echo does not turn off.   How do I get the echo to turn off in
escript?

Thanks,
