In your original description, you said
But the Second and subsequent inputs, in Windows, hide the input
with dots, while the first shows the input, and I can't figure
out why.... But it's just python input, not tkinter. Unless it's
a Windows peculiarity. The input Always shows in DOS."
I see now. When you said "in Windows", you meant you ran the script in
PyScripter. Unlike IDLE, PyScripter chooses to pop up a dialog box for
input. No wonder I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Also, there is no DOS. If you're running 64-bit Windows you don't even
have the NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM) and can't run 16-bit DOS and
Win16 apps without installing an emulator. What you keep calling 'DOS'
is a console window, running text-mode *Windows* programs such as
python.exe and cmd.exe.
