By passing a '*', you are passing the number 42 (the ASCII value of '*') as
your edit and window style flags - Win32 apparently read that as a
combination of EX_UPPERCASE and some other flags that I'm too lazy to work
out.

Try instead:

>    Sle2 = create( EditText, "", Win, 10, 40, 120, 20, ES_PASSWORD ),

I don't currently have that flag defined; I'll try to get it added to then
next update. It is:

    ES_PASSWORD = #20

Here are some other flags, some of which *are* defined in Win32Lib.ew:

    ES_LEFT = #0,
    ES_CENTER = #1,
    ES_RIGHT = #2,
    ES_MULTILINE = #4,
    ES_UPPERCASE = #8,
    ES_LOWERCASE = #10,
    ES_PASSWORD = #20,
    ES_AUTOVSCROLL = #40,
    ES_AUTOHSCROLL = #80,
    ES_NOHIDESEL = #100,
    ES_OEMCONVERT = #400,
    ES_READONLY = #800,
    ES_WANTRETURN = #1000,

Hope this helps.
