Creation password at runtime

[George Simon]

But John, if the user does not even see the password prompt, what would make them go looking in the tok table for a password?  
In any case, Bruce offered an enhancement to the idea that would look up the password from another password-creation protected file.

Don't know why it takes two ENTR's on my ssytem... it just does... even so,
the idea is great and all... but honestly, after thinking about it... the
lack of security with a hardcoded password in the table makes it not worth
it.  Too bad. I see you mentioned that just giving the tok table would fix
this... but then that means you don't know that the tok table does *not*
encrypt strings... they would be *plainly* visible.

So, obviously, Ken (FP Tech) will have to come up with some fix.

Honestly, I do not remember ever having this problem and I *do* remember the
clear lookup being a work around.

Has something changed?
