(Freset_this_command_lengths): Return nil. (read_char): [All these changes are in the input method code.] Process and clear before_command_restore_flag before the input method. Save and restore ok_to_echo_at_next_pause and current_kboard->echo_after_prompt. Save, copy and empty this_command_keys, if it is not empty. Clear the echo area before the input method. Then in all cases restore this_command_keys, and reenable echoing if it was enabled before.
