Hello Erik,

That is very helpful:
   % stty igncr -echo
in the ssh window before starting R does the job for me. Much easier
than hacking Emacs Lisp!

For the complete story, in my Emacs ssh window, I have:

% stty igncr -echo
stty igncr -echo
% %

But that last doubled prompt is the final oddity - after that everything
works as desired. For reference, the complete set of stty settings
_before_ the above change was:

% stty -a
stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 50; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt
= ^R;
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
