Hum. For the moment I belive a password edit will work. Why in the world 
can I not devine the password edit? I thought we had something that 
would display "#" since ProFile16 days.
I'm not talking about inputpw... I want a pw edit, or is that a 5.6 
function? I don't need it encrypted, just not displayable.
