Hiding text input

  Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to hide a text input from a user, so that when the user types on the keyboard, if they type "abcd" for example, it's replaced by "••••'. I had a look through the archives, but I didn't find any reference to anything like that, and goggling didn't return much either. Does anyone know if this can be done? Part of the script I'm using would look something like this:

-- set username and userpass to variables
set username to text returned of (display dialog "Enter your User Name:" default answer "your username")
set userpass to text returned of (display dialog "Enter your password:" default answer "your password")

How would I keep what's typed, but only display ••••••• ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you,

  Paul
