1. Password
Is there a way to make a password input prompt?
AllI can think of is to have some kind of match sequence where you set the
passowrd in the ex file.
Thanks in advance.

matt,
what exactly are you desiring to do.. there are many
different schemes for entering as well as storing
passwords. the simplest of course is to embed the
password into the exe and compare it with users
input. the down side of this is that you cannot easily
change the password, and every user uses the
same password.
a more elaborate scheme is to save the users
personal password in a file of allowed users (scrambled
of course). and compare the users entered password
with the content of his/her record in the allowed user
file.

That's what I want to do but I have no idea how to do it.

matt,
ok simplest case...
....................................start pseudo-code...........................
.........
sequence pw-inp, pw
pw-inp = " "
pw = "PLEASE"
...
.. other initialization code, etc..
..
-- get user password
puts(SCREEN,"Enter password: ")
pw-inp = gets(KEYB)
puts(SCREEN,'\n')
if pw-inp <> pw -- this is case sensitive so uppercase must be entered
-- issue error message
-- take whatever action you wish (loop back to top to try again?)
end if
-- continue rest of code to be executed by successful password entry.
