The way to protect a password is to use
property mypassword : display dialog "Enter the password:" ,
default answer "password"
--(the , is an option-L)
You enter the password at compilation time.
Then, if someone attempts to open the file,
they will not see the password because it is compiled.
If they attempt to recompile it, the script will become
non-functional unless they have the password already.
Unless you know how to read the compiled code,
you cannot get to the password.
There are also OSAXen which encrypt passwords,
if you need to go that far.
