I have a hypercard stack that needs to ask the user for his Unix password. Currently it simply uses the "ask" command, but this is not desirable since the password is visible while the user is typing it. Does anyone know of an xcmd or xfcn that acts like "ask" but does not show the characters being typed? If such a beast does not exist, I'll write one, but I thought I'd ask first. ___\ /___ Greg Anderson ___\ /___ \ \ / / Social Sciences Computing \ \ / / \ /\/\ / University of California, Santa Cruz \ /\/\ / \/ \/ sirkm@ssyx.ucsc.edu \/ \/
