I am very new to VMS and everytime I type the characters seem to echo. So when I type exit it appears eexxiit. It is probably something small but I cant seem to find how to fix it...

You don't give much information about your terminal. Do you use a real terminal or PC terminal emulator ?
And what does "$ SHOW TERMINAL" say about the terminal type ?

A command that may help is :
$ SET TERMINAL /NOLOCAL_ECHO

or maybe better to set more characteristics :
$ SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE

For help about these commands type :
$ HELP SET TERMINAL
