Is it possible to hide the password field in a modal dialog?

Hi again,

When using input> to get user input entered into a text field in a modal dialog, the password is automatically obscured with "***"s. Is it possible to get this same effect when using a regular dialog box instead? I've tried setting INPUT_PASSWORD to 1 before calling Show> on the dialog definition but that doesn't do it.

While I'm asking, I might as well ask something else: is it possible to change the window title of a dialog created by messagemodal> from "Macro Scheduler Message"? If so, how?

Thanks again for any help.

Here is the syntax for an Edit Box in the Dialog:
Name,Left,Top,Width,Preset-Text[,PasswordChar]

So,just add the optional,desired character after the default value, like this:
Edit=msEdit1,104,8,121,Fred,*

Hi Bob,

Thanks very much! That's exactly what I needed. I missed it in the docs.
