Well, if you have a solution to determining the password at creation time
rather than runtime for the following, please let me know:

    input popup fn(80,*) "Enter the name of your payroll file: "
    lookup payroll=(fn) r=("1") -nx

This, obviously, is unsolvable, and the password (if any) must be asked
at runtime.

The plans do included for some future relase to allow the filename to be
hardcoded and the qualifier portion to be an expression, thereby allowing
the password to be asked for at creation time in that instance.
