processing passwords?

[Fairlight]

It's been a long, long time since I've seen it, but I seem to remember cabe
could ask for passwords for processing tables.  I have a few questions
about this:

1) Are there separate processing passwords, or is that just a site password
on the table, but not in fppath?

2) When using rcabe, is the password the first thing asked for in this
scenario?

3) Are any extra questions asked in cabe regarding replacing a password?
If so, at what point in the flow of cabe?

I have the base sequences for auto-reencoding tables from binary to ASCII
(or back again) on *nix platforms to \033\033nnn for dcabe and \033\033nnnn
for rcabe.  I'm trying to find out if there are other things that need to
be conditionally injected into that sequence to deal with passwords at any
point.

As long as I'm at it...is there -any- way to make filePro accept input from
STDIN on Windows native?  I know pipes exist in Windows, but I have a vague
memory of them being implemented by temporary files or something similar.

Thanks!
