Hi all,
after getting some work out of the way I managed to dust my old password
scripts and improved it (so that it would support deletion of character(s)).
I've posted a sample in Director 8, you can download it at

on backspace, rather just ignore it (any key will be interce

Hi Irv,
It seems to me that all the fuss with finding the masking font takes you
more time then writing the actual code would :)
This is totally untested and oversimplified e-mail lingo, but I'm sure you
