Hi, List.
I am working on a chunk of bigger script that will connect to a server with
URL Access, and download a file to disk. (Mac OS 9.1 & AppleScript 1.8.3) The
script below functions fine, but I am looking for a way for the user to enter
his/her password "securely".
Is there an easy way to get "text returned" of a "display dialog", but the
user's input is invisible (half duplex) or blotted out (like, shows only
bullets)?
Thanks in advance.

--start script
set TheServer to "www.DomainName.com"
set UserName to text returned of
(display dialog "What is your USER ID?" default answer "your username")
set
UserPassword to text returned of (display dialog "What is your PASSWORD?"
default answer "your password")
set TheURL to ("
http://"; & UserName & ":" &
UserPassword & "@" & TheServer & "/ThisIsATest.txt") as string
tell
application "Finder"
set FileSpec to ((name of startup disk) & ":Desktop
Folder:TemporaryFile.txt") as string
end tell
tell application "URL Access
Scripting"
download (TheURL as string) to file (FileSpec as string) replacing
yes
end tell
--end script
